It’s normal for us to critic our anxiety and blame are anxiety for our poor mental health.

There are days where I let my anxiety get the best of me, but there are also days where I’m stronger than it. 

The other day my mom and i were in my room and we started to talk about my anxiety. My mom told me that although she sees how much anxiety has stop me from doing things, she has watched me turn into a stronger women. From my point of view it seems like I’m in the same place as before.

Anxiety has stopped me from having sharing my input in conversations, letting friendships go, living this life I deserve for a little, and making me doubt my potential.

At some point I learned to take over and take control. All days don’t look the same, and they never will. But today as I noticed I was in the presence of anxiety, I was able to take control. I was able to prove people wrong. I input my voice into conversation and avoided being silent. As an observer and listener, it felt good to be the speaker.

As much as we find anxiety to be a hard battle and makes things seem impossible, it can be one of your greatest motivations. It can be you biggest challenge in a way that makes you change things about yourself positively. This is what I have experienced, and gratefully so, has changed my perspective on my anxiety.
