I’ve been struggling lately with a mild anxiety attack that has been affecting my day to day activities. I find myself feeling overwhelmed and stressed, and frequently unable to concentrate. My head is spinning with thoughts of worry and I find it hard to stay in the moment.
I know how important it is for me to be open about how I feel, so recently I have been making more of an effort to talk about my experience with friends and family. Opening up has been really helpful, because they are able to provide perspectives that I had not considered before.
Turning towards things that make me feel calm has also helped during this time. Connecting with nature, either through going for a walk or simply opening a window, helps me ground myself in the present moment. Reaching out for support from friends or speaking with a therapist has also made a difference since I now have someone impartial who can offer guidance on how best to face this challenge.
It’s difficult sometimes but I’m taking one step at a time and trusting that this process will eventually help me heal.
