Anxiety

"Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday."

Everybody has struggles and trials in their lives, and some are worse than others. I have a problem with holding my stresses and difficulties all in... keeping them to myself. It's how I have always been and it works for me. But at times I just pop and to me it feels like my life is just falling apart all at once. I never really realized it until my senior year in high school, I have anxiety issues... My last year in high school I really struggled with life, with the stress of work, school & graduating, personal business and what caused most of the stress, my ex.

I don't think that I am depressed. Because for the most part I am such a happy person. I like to look at all the good in life... Worrying about all the problems, struggles, stresses and things that bug you just make life difficult. Yes, life is going to be hard no matter who you are, but having a positive attitude about everything makes life and the hardness that comes with it ten times easier.

I'll admit it, there are times when I don't want to be positive about life.... but it only happens when I've held it all in for a long period of time and it causes me to have anxiety attacks. Major attacks. I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with these attacks becasue when I have them, I don't do anything about it which causes it to get worse and worse. Like the past few weeks.... I've decided that I'm going to do something about it.

So this is where you readers come into play..... How do you cope with the stresses of life????
