Open Question: Story of my Anxiety. Share yours! How did you get through yours?



I was told I was being laid off right after I bought my house at the age of 24. I am not married and only depended on ONE income. I have never experienced stress/anxiety up until that point. The tension headaches started, the heart pounding started, the uneasy feeling, the “oh my god Im going out of my mind” feeling. I felt sick, I felt alone, and I didn’t understand what was going on with me.

I was able to find a job a week after I was laid off with a company I’ve always wanted to work for. The catch? I had to be trained four hours away from my house. In the worst traffic ever, in the worst WINTER ever for SIX MONTHS. So picture a woman, sitting in her car, fighting anxiety, in traffic for hours straight. Not a good thing. I felt horrible, and I would get home….drained and crawl in my bed with my dinner and do it again. When the weekends came, I stayed in the house. Almost scared to get out of bed. But somehow, I managed to pull through it. I use to pray every morning, “Lord, please get me through this without the help of medication. I know you are preparing me to be a warrier, to deal with stress on my own, to take on any challenge, and I thank you.” I knew something was wrong when I was standing in line to purchase something and almost felt I was about to black out because I was so anxious to get out of the store. I sat in my car, confused, crying, afraid…but I knew I had to do something. I thought I was going to end up in a mental institution. I thought I would never be the same. But in reality, I was right. Id NEVER be the same…because this experience was going to change me forever. It was up to me to make it a learning experience, or an experience that would scare me for life.

While I was struggling to pay bills, I slipped on the mortgage and faced foreclosure. Fortunately, I was able to go into a repayment plan. But that bumped my mortgage up to 200.00. Still having anxiety, stress, and learning a new job with dipshit stuck up co workers, I developed hypochondria. Of course, it’s only right…when you have never suffered from headaches, heart racing episodes, etc. So I started seeing the doctors….EVERY specialist. And I was given the “good” news that I was healthy---just stressed. After my fifth visit to my PCP, my doctor closed the door, took my face in his hands gently and said, “Sweetheart, what’s going on. You tell me what’s really wrong.” After I cried, I poured my heart out telling him exactly how I was feeling. He gave me three choices, Yoga, Medication, or Therapy. I picked Yoga and Therapy. Yoga helped, Therapy helped even more. Fast forward six months. My job moved closer, I started to catch up on some of my bills and I started to feel better slowly. Although I know I am still a work in progress, I’ve noticed a dramatic change. Small things that I couldn’t do when I was anxious stress I can do now. Sitting through an entire movie, going to a friend’s house without leaving early, challenging my negative thoughts, even staying out all day doing different activities.

I started to listen to my body and I’ve done a lot of research. Remember I told you guys I felt off balance..dizzy? It was because of my wisdom teeth that were impacted. I got rid of those, and that helped reduce my anxiety of feeling this way. For tension headaches I meditate.

I’m at the point where I am just coming to terms with what happened to me, and slowly edging it to the back burner of my life. As I look back, I remember I use to think Id never feel better…….and that I wanted to feel the way I feel TODAY. It only took a matter of time to get me to this point. Do I stress? OF course! Do I get anxious when a bill is due and Im coming up short?!? Absolutely.

What I have noticed is that I am now more in tune with my body. I notice aches, pains etc. My hypochondria turned into a “I want to be healthy and aware of what I put in my body” MONSTER. Lol
I guess what I’m trying to say is, I put myself on pedestal. I was this strong young girl who had her sht together at a young age who didn’t take shit, who could conquer anything or everything in my path. That I would never break. But even the Incredible Hulk had his weakness my friends. And we are ALL human.

One thing I will say, God definitely kept his promise. ;) (refer to my prayer)
