I still have an anxiety problem and no matter how I fight it off it still holds me down and I thought that I was just shy and keeping things to myself not really knowing that it really is just a symptom of anxiety.

It is apparent in the days of my schooling where sometimes I tremble and get those butterflies in the stomach or like you just drained with all your energy in a few seconds or like blood just went out from your body sensation in certain conditions and situations that you feel threatened at some point, then you feel those uncomfortable feelings that lingers.

It is not good to live with anxiety disorder, it robs you of better things that could happen. You will also be afraid of talking to someone or at least get uncomfortable especially in the opposite sex.

Anxiety already had begotten numerous disorder in my body including not being so outgoing with other people because I feel that other people are somewhat hostile against me so I find it hard really to establish friendship if I could at first break the ice and start conversations.

Even though I knew a person well I still feel like anxiety is eating me because I remember at one point wen I visited an ill friend of mine. As we converse I just started to tremble, stutter, and lose sensations in my body because of our simple talk. So I have to leave early so that I could stop it. That is the way I feel most of the time and I just attribute it to my current illness although I got the condition on my childhood.

Es cierto @cryptopie a veces juzgamos a las personas sin conocerlos solo por la apariencia y eso no es lo más correcto ya que en el fondo todos somos seres humanos y merecemos respeto por igual

La verdad!

I have suffered with generalized anxiety since I was around 14 years old, so I know the feeling. It is very difficult because your mind basically lies to you about your situation.

Well, to put it more precisely, your mind exaggerates everything. Then the emotions spiral out of control until you think you will go crazy.

With anxiety you have to allow the sensations to take their course, but do not give them fuel. Do not buy into the narratives that your brain generates. It will pass! It is like riding a wave on a very rough ocean.

Yes Sir I think it just transformed my being into what I am today. It is hard to fight it and maybe takes time to practice how to deal with it but maybe until I realize a revolution in my health it would get an improvement.

I know what you mean. I've felt the same way having the most simple conversation. Be brave and force yourself to practice getting better at it and you can succeed.😊

Hi @cryptopie
You will be fine. Have some patience and believe in god. I know it’s not so easy for you. But miracles do happen. And I hope you will be fine.
And a least for now you have a platform like STEEMIT to share your feeling and ease yourself a bet.
Continue posting you daily updates.
Thanks.

I hear you. Anxiety is awful and can just pop up out of nowhere. Its hard to make plans ..to live free. There are medicines that help, but alot of doctors do not believe or understand anxiety. It does help to do what you are doing by acknowledgimg it and writing about it. Prayers for you. You are one couragous person to look up to and i hope you enjoy and do well here on steemit also.
