A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?
Making anxiety more bearable?
Are you wondering how to deal with anxiety? There are over 3 million cases of anxiety each year in the US alone and that excludes the rest of the world. And when I googled how many people in the world were diagnosed with anxiety what came up was 284 million people in 2017. That’s a lot of people, and some people aren’t diagnosed.

If you can go back in time.
I know. Is a very cliché question. If you can go back in time what would you change about yourself? I use to have this question in the back of my mind whenever I have scramble eggs and coffee. The coffee always remind me that I am older and the scrambles always remind me that I might have high cholesterol. This is one of the question that I personally feel like we need to ask ourselves at least once a month.

Why Everyone Has Anxiety
Everyone has anxiety. That is the one thing you can count on being a constant between humans. This type of worry comes in many forms: relationship anxiety, separation anxiety, any phobia, and panic disorder. It can show up in more than one way, but even the calmest of us have seen displays of these occur in our everyday lives.

Coping With Anxiety
It is normal to panic when something is wrong, but sometimes there is no real danger and this feeling of panic comes over my body. Heart-rate increases and breathing is irregular; tension and sometimes dizziness, fatigue, even nauseous feeling occurs. There is no real threat to detect in my environment. I am not actually about to die in these moments, yet it feels like it.

Anxiety Panic Attacks and Depression
Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression are not conditions with a quick cure, but in my experience, recovery is possible for the vast majority of sufferers. For the rest, managing the anxiety, panic attacks, and depression is the available option for feeling better. Either way, there is hope of feeling better. You certainly can feel better. And I hope that this article gives you hope. Hope can propel you onto the next stage, that of seeking treatment or self-help, or both.

An Anxiety Story
Let me pick up where I left off in Middle School, a dream deferred. With my goal of being a quarterback, a leader of my peers over in my eyes I decided to make the most of my time as a left tackle. I didn't realize it then, but that's actually a very important position. I'm glad I didn't because it would have made my anxiety that much more serious. I also played Defensive tackle which means I was the first line of defense against the opposing teams running game. I would have been pretty good if I could keep my mouthpiece in my mouth. My anxiety caused me to be nauseated most games and having a mouthpiece in only made the issue worse. I was warned multiple times by coaches and refs, but they didn't know the real problem. That monster in my brain telling my body that it was time to panic whenever my number was called. I couldn't focus on play calls, so remembering the playbook was a moot point. I would just block the guy in front of me or crash the gap when I was on defense. Most of the time I got it right and the other times I would get yelled at or one of my teammates would pay the price. Anxiety affected not only me but everyone and everything I was involved in or with. I couldn't even take a shower after practice because I was so afraid of doing the wrong thing or messing something up around my band of brothers. That made me the stinky kid in school.

A Scary Night
It was about 8:30 PM on Tuesday 20, 2018. I just got off my first ever job at Toys R Us, which was only a 15 minutes walk away from my apartment, and that was perfect for me being a 16 years-old with no driver's license because I am terrified of driving. I couldn't call my dad to pick me up because he would complain about my work not being too far away from the apartment, and he would be mad that I called because he had to go to work very early the next day. I was in a great mood that night, so I decided to walk instead of giving my dad an excuse to yell at me and ruin my mood.

A SAD Journey
My days start as they usually do, with thoughts of what if this and what if that. Visions of the unknown and the unknowable, with thoughts of anxiety and fear. Since I was a child this has been my reality. No matter if it's supposed to be a laid back Saturday or a busy Wednesday, they all begin with unsubstantiated fear. What if I can't pay my rent? What if I get to work and I make a mistake? What if I crash my car into the back of an 18-wheeler? Soon, the sweating starts, and unavoidable nausea. Imagine being in so much fear, not because of a credible threat, but because you have a condition in your mind that you can not escape. How do you run from your mind? How do you get away from your own beating, racing heart? Answer is you can't. I can't.

Small battles, and big victories.
In life, although conflicts are a spectrum for some of us, including me some days even locating the strength to get out of bed becomes a scrimmage in itself. A large percentage of my adult life has been spent bouncing between Marianas Trench like crashes and almost manic highs, but trying to find equilibrium and harmony has become the primary focus of my energy. Instead of permitting your anxiety to dominate and dictate your life take that step, make that effort and your future self will thank you.
