(Yes, EVERYTHING!)
Well, here we are starting another week. (Mondays, amiright?)
I have anxiety. Let’s get that out in the open right now. Do I “suffer” from anxiety? I wouldn’t say I do, however, it’s always there, lurking around in the shadows of my brain waiting to smack me around in tough situations. The trick is to know it’s there, but to do something about it.

It may cause you to have panic attacks, or leave a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, or even avoid commitments or events in case either of the aforementioned reactions occurs.
