For the first time on Medium, I was challenged by a fellow writer/reader for an article I published about having anxiety. In this article, I offered 4 tools, which I use on the daily basis, to help myself and others, in completing tasks in which I typically struggle.
This is the article in question:
4 Simple Strategies to Help You Talk Yourself Into Anything
Even if you don’t want to do it

At first, I was taken (slightly) aback, when I read Varun Choraria’s article, stating that he couldn’t “buy in” to the pieces of advice I had offered. After I read his blog, and then read it again, I came to a conclusion:
Anxiety is Not a “Once Size Fits All” mental challenge.
I don’t like to always refer to Anxiety as an illness, as I don’t believe it makes me “ill”. At least, not in the sense that I see it as a sickness. It is more of a challenge to me, and after this past year, I struggle with the term as feeling “ill”. Others may have different opions of this, and I highly respect this, but this is how I look at it, as an individual.
