Everyone is different when it comes to anxiety, people deal with it differently, panic differently or have different needs. This post is simply going to be how I dealt with it.
For a long period in my life I was simply terrified. I didn't want people to think differently of me. I was so scared to go to school, or any other activities. Just because I was simply petrified that I would panic in front of people. This really I guess got me down. I spent a lot of time just sitting in my room, which is really not good. For someone like me, I should have been surrounded by people. It just makes you a whole lot happier.
I really didn't know what to do. So many people just couldn't understand. They would try to understand, but honestly there is no bridge between people who have panic attacks and people who don't. Me not going to all these activities, it wasn't helping. I need to participate and be distracted for a while, when all I was thinking was am I gonna panic?
Panic attacks also caused a lot of physical pain. For a while I always had this sort of knot in my stomach, and I always felt as if I were coming down with the flu. My muscles became super tense (I am still seeing a physio) I tried getting massages but the knots in my muscles are so tight that, that didn't cut it. I also had a lot of pain in my throat, which I'm actually having today...it causes more trouble to breathe and its just a struggle.
I understand if you are experiencing any of these things, but now I need to show you how to get threw them, because you will.
I started participating more when I realized I would never get this opportunity again. I'm never going to be in this grade in high school again. Never going to be this age, never going to get so many of these opportunities back. I understand its really hard, but you're going to get threw this.
If you're having muscle spasms I can recommend a few things:
1. Stretch the affected muscle
2. Use a heating pad
3. See a doctor or physio
4. Stay hydrated
5. Ice the muscle
6. Get a massage
I hope this really help all of you! Remember to get out the best of life and continue to participate.
Thanks for all the support
