How I deal with my anxiety:

I just wanted to share my experience with GAD. Aka, Generalize Anxiety Disorder. It is pretty much the same as all anxiety but WORSE. I was just recently diagnosed back in 2017 and well I’m 17 now. I was supposed to walk since it is my senior year but I got an injury and hit my head.
All these years later and I finally know my diagnoses? Are you serious? It’s not just what I wanted to know but it’s more than that. I also have OCD. That explains my childhood fear of automatic toilets and constant hand washing. Strange fears. But luckily I don’t have those obsessions anymore. But it’s not all good for me. I don’t obsess over worse things. Tragic things. I get really upset. I can’t control it. My fears take over and I have anxiety attacks. It stinks. It truly does. But I’m working on it.
How I cope.
I use a stress ball to help keep my anxiety low. I also do desensitization. I can’t afford to go to the emergency room from falls anymore. I need to keep it controlled. I will keep it controlled. Because this is so hard for me I have had hard times where I felt like a disappointment and failure to my parents. It wasn’t that they gave up, because they didn’t. They wouldn’t. But it was that I felt like giving up. I felt so depressed. I came back though. It’s time I live in reality. I am here to share my story. This is me, Kayla. Enjoy my account. I’m always here for my lovelies!!! 🌸❤️
