Anxiety Sucks
Anxiety really does suck, doesn't it? There is not really a better way for me to explain it other than that. Once anxiety becomes a part of your life it becomes a freaking nightmare to get out of! Unless you have experience with this vicious beast you can't possibly understand just how isolating it is. Haven't you noticed that explaining this condition to a “non anxiety” person makes you sound even crazier than you already feel?
It's enough already! To say that I know how you feel is an understatement. I at the very least can relate to how lost and hopeless you feel. I have been sitting at the brink of despair more than once with this condition. I have visited all sides of hell with this. Nothing says it better than Anxiety Sucks.
Anxiety used to be something that many of us kept secret. It was a silent and isolating nightmare that we could not imagine anyone else possibly understanding. It was a shock to me to research generalized anxiety disorder and realize that I was a text book case! I am a psychoanalysts dream! It is very easy to speak with me and figure out my original cause of anxiety. This however, does not mean that it leads to how to heal it.
So many times we hear things like 'we must get to the root of something to heal it.' I do agree with needing to get to the root cause of any situation to understand it. However, understanding the root does not mean that you heal anything! You have to know what the root cause is, understand the root cause and then learn how to apply the information that you've gained.
Now, let's take this one step further. This is what I have come to as my truth for anyone out there that deals with anxiety even beyond and understanding and application of the original causes. The truth of it all is that even with all of these efforts in place if you do not agree with every fiber of your being that you DESERVE to be free from this condition, nothing will ever heal. You can go to doctors and counselors and take pills, and try herbs and see psychics for all I care (and I have myself done all of the above and more in my years of questing for healing) and nothing will work until you decide that it's time to and that you deserve to be free.
Sometimes we get lost and fall down. And sometimes we stay down until we are just tired of being down. No matter how long you are down, know that you will get back up. And when you do, where you will be is worlds better than where you are now.
