A feeling of anxiety is a fear of the future. Anxiety is a normal human response.
When we are under stress, we either feel anxious or experience anxiety. Everyone becomes tense.
Everyone has experienced stress-inducing circumstances. Such as; Exams, public speaking, or anticipating a parent’s reprimand could have all been the cause.
Anxiety disorders are types of mental health disorders.
The World Health Organization (WHO) describes anxiety disorders as characterized by excessive fear and worry and related behavioural disorders.
When anxiety disorders are severe, they can interfere with routine daily activities.
As of 2019, 301 million people worldwide reported having anxiety.
And 58 million of the 301 million people who suffer from anxiety disorders are children and teenagers.
Although feeling anxious is common, it turns into a disorder when you worry excessively or when your anxiety prevents you from participating in activities that are going on around you.
I have experienced anxiety disorders since I was a young child.
But I suppose mine wasn’t as bad. From junior high school through my second year of college, I dealt with it. It was prior to COVID-19. weird, huh?
Every time I have an exam, my anxiety gets worse. When you have exams, it’s before you feel anxious, but mine got worse.
I get more anxious as soon as I walk into the exam room. I’ll start to get trembling in my hands. Not bad, you’d say?
Disorders of anxiety give you the impression that nothing you do is good enough.
It gives you the impression that you have brain fog and are unable to think clearly.
Take care of your mental health.
Have faith in your own abilities.
You are a fighter.
Till I come your way again.
