Before, I was afraid of many things. I was even afraid of getting out of the house. One day I just realized that I cannot live this way and I tried fighting it on my own. I started with making a list of the things that I am afraid of. I listed them from the least to the worst. Then I forced myself to try them out one by one. It was difficult but it was very touching to slash off things in my fear list. Then one day I was able to sit through an entire movie in a crowded movie house. It may seem crazy and immaterial to most people but it was the scariest thing for me. Now, I let my boyfriend take me to all the nice places and I get to enjoy it now.

I was far from being a candidate of any anxiety order at all. I had a happy childhood, a fulfilling family life, good job, everything. It was only until I ventured into my own business that I started to feel the pressure and symptoms. It took me a full year to finally give up and admit my condition. SSRIs helped, but not much. I went to a naturopath and it helped too.. a little. Until I went to a good naturopath who told me that it was stress and my adrenal glands was giving up. I went on two months of full rest. It was what cured me.

My four month journey with anxiety was not easy. Finding a cure for this condition is harder than a simple medical condition. I took small steps, easy steps. I began with adapting a healthier diet and aerobic exercises at around 10 minutes a day. When thoughts creep up into my head, I do not try to argue with them and just let it pass. I also met with a therapist who taught me how to eliminate negative words from my vocabulary such as try and hope. She helped me in substituting these statements with more positive ones that denote action in the now. Through this strategy, it helped my subconscious understand that I want to heal from anxiety now and not later. I also started an 8 week mindfulness therapy that was totally worth it. This therapy is the biggest contributor to why I feel ok now. It basically involves the use of a mentality that allows us to live in the now and not stress much about the future. I know that everyone’s experience of anxiety is unique and what worked for me may not be the best for other people. But there is hope out there and I hope you guys who are undergoing the same problem will find the cure that is right for them.
