Why should I stay quiet about Anxiety ?

 Hi every one its been awhile. But Iv had some thing on my mind and that's why should I stay quiet about Anxiety? I dont think you should. There was once a time where I felt like If I let any one know I had Anxiety that meant I was less of a person or meant I was weak, So I consumed it I struggled silently and it became very self destructive to be honest with you. There are thing that I dont talk about because again I dont want to hurt any one or I feel like it makes me less of a person. I was trying to find ways to self medicate. I was looking for help with out actually telling anyone I need help. This did not lead to addiction  or anything like that but led to a very dark place I was very very unhappy and my mother new it. I finely got help I asked for help and I have been dealing with this Anxiety for many many years. I have learned over time that Anxiety dose not make me weak or lesser. I have learned Many people suffer from it . I also started this blog to speak up about it. I do not think Anxiety or metal  health should be a hush hush subject. I feel like it needs to be talked about and addressed. you should not be ashamed of it.  I use to think other people would think I was crazy or  something if they new. I am not crazy. My brain simply lacks that serotonin . My fight or flight is Heightened. And I decided  if I as going to have anxiety for the rest of my life I was going to learn about it. I was going to try to help others who struggle with it. I am going to face my anxiety and I am going to give it one hell of a fight, I hate feeling held back and some times Anxiety is so intense it is paralyzing. Some days Anxiety takes over other days I am  capable of fighting back, I will not stop fighting to take my life back . I will speak up about Anxiety in hope to reach others who are hiding it or do not understand. I encourage you to find strength get help. Its ok to ask for help.  Every one at some point in time  suffers from Anxiety.  Hears a link just today that came out about the Actress Emma Stone and her struggles.

When you realize your capable

My last blog post was how hard I was having with returning to work after 8 years. I'm finely feeling comfortable. The first week or so was so hard on me I came home crying almost every  night. I was having to deal with new things and felt overwhelmed with so many things . Being away from home and my family. Coming home and my kids were already in bed because they had school in the morning. I was so unhappy. Having to deal with the public. There were time and still are when I just want to hide.  Anxiety has a way of making you doubt your self. This is some information I found  on another blog. And the facts are dead on. The info below is from http://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/anxiety-schmanxiety/2014/06/anxiety-and-self-doubt/ Anxiety and Self-Doubt *At the core of an anxiety disorder is not knowing when it is appropriate to trust our feelings. If a person can’t trust his or her own thoughts because they are saying there is danger when there clearly is not, how ca...

Being a mother with Anxiety and Depression

I want to start this  post out by saying being a mother in its own  comes with difficulties. I also want to start out by saying being a mother is one of the most challenging yet rewarding gifts I have ever received. I have struggled with my Anxiety  for a long while. It is an on going battle that I will face the rest of my life. My oldest Kid is 8 years old right now. I feel like yes there are still challenges and difficult times behind  but I also have a little better understanding of my Anxiety. It is still something I will never fully grasp. Every day I work on it . I am going to get into something personal but I also feel like it is something women should hear, And be aware of.  I only have 2 children. I am also from Utah. Utah is a state where you get married young I was 20 years old and you also have LARGE family's.  How ever I do see a change in the trend with fewer large family's. I still get asked if I am going to have more children. My answer is ...
