I have awful anxiety and it's been around for so long it's become part of my personality. It gets really bad sometimes. Especially around my menstrual cycle.

Those of you on here with anxiety? I understand 100%. I know what it's like to feeling you're losing it. The chest tightness. Feeling like the world is crashing down and even those annoying, random thoughts that are useless yet keep circulating.

I just wanted to let you know...you are not alone. I promise. Don't let people tell you ,"Oh just get over it." Don't let people belittle your condition. I know it is hard, especially when you're in a transition between things or even just a rough time of year.

You'll be okay, I promise. Take a long, deep breath, say aloud, "Everything is okay. I'm overwhelmed right now, but I'm okay. Everything will work out."

It does <3 Just take things one step at a time!
