Personal Narrative: Why Do People Have To Struggle With Anxiety

519 Words3 Pages

Why do people have to struggle with anxiety? I believe that even people with anxiety have hope. I believe this because, no matter how far i drift from hope, something always brings me back.
I am 13, I have brown hair, hazel eyes, im 5 foot 11, and love wearing tee shirts and jeans. You might never guess that there is something wrong with me, but there is. I have anxiety, and it is a horrible struggle every day. All that i want to do at this point in my life is to let others like me know that they are not; and never will be, alone.
Before I knew the struggles that I would face every day, I thought that life was supposed to be nonstop recklessness and fun. I now know with all my heart that life isn 't that way, that i have to be careful with what …show more content…

One instance of this was how a few years ago, I got into a fight with some of my friends. I was simply discussing various things (of which now I can 't remember), and joking around. Later that day I don 't know why, but I seemed to be in some sort of a funk, so I made a horrible mistake, I tried to text them. This was because I was angry at the world for me being placed with this issue, I got angry at them for no reason. This caused a period of many months where I felt alone. It was not until I tried to make things up with them that I realized that they missed the old happy me, and that they wanted to make up. This event made me realize that the best thing for people like me is to try to be involved and happy with others.
I on several occasions asked my anxiety the same question as Jodi Aman, “why won 't you just leave me alone?” but I knew that getting angry at anything I could would only cause more worry. I also realized that others with this issue are more help then you could ever realize, and that you should always want to accept help from them.
Again I ask the question, why do people have to struggle with anxiety? Perhaps we will never know. I encourage everyone who has sat through this to think and try to help others with this issue, and if you struggle with this too, just know that you aren 't alone. People need to know, that with this issue, there is always hope, and that no one will ever have to go through this

    I have personally seen that people have many different layers to them than what they let on. For example one of my friends has a couple mental illnesses that i would not have known if he had not told me and it changed my view of him in a good way. I have also had personal experience when it comes to talking to someone to help relieve some of the stress. Recently home life hasn 't been fantastic and i have had to rely on teachers and therapist to help work out the stress and helping me work through the anxiety. Lastly i have seen That determination for a goal can make you achieve that goal.

  • Personal Narrative: The Pediatric Waiting Room At St. Cloud Hospital

    280 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I was sitting in the pediatric waiting room in the St. Cloud hospital, I could not have been more terrified. I was a little frustrated that I was the pediatric side of the hospital because the room was filled with children with about 4 other teenagers, at most. I would scan the room just trying to figure out if any of them had the same problem as me, or how bad of conditions that these children could have. It had only taken about thirty minutes for them to call my name, even though there were others that had been waiting much longer than I had. Which looking back it had made sense that none of those other children were going through what I was.

  • Summary Of Challenge By Another Name By James Lincoln Collier

    In James Lincoln Collier’s, “Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name”, Collier explains that the anxiety people go through is just another challenge keeping us from doing what makes us happy. He believes anxiety can get bad enough to the point where it can become a challenge for someone to have a positive personal development. Personally, I agree with Collier’s view because anxiety can stop you from doing what you make you happy but they are challenges that help you build a stronger personal development once they are overcome. Typically, when someone has anxiety they may fall in a state of depression. Instead of living miserably, avoiding what made you anxious and depressed can help you improve your way of living and help you become a better person

    Honestly, that could be anything from the happiest memory ever created, to the deepest fear ever thought of. Something as ridiculous as losing an object, for example; your car keys, or forgetting something that can be easily replaced, for example, your lunch. It is honestly impossible to say or tell when an anxiety attack is about to seep through the unstable, straw walls that have been built in a fatal attempt to stop panic attacks. Some things that enjoy pushing anxiety attacks into my uncoordinated life are being late, losing objects, forgetting things, talking in front of others, standing out, being invisible, whether or not I look okay, tests, quizzes, when others do not have the needed support, and what others think of me. If I could control my anxiety I would shrink it down and store in the farthest place possible from my everyday life; but like I said before, it is almost impossible to tell when an anxiety attack is coming and how to stop it.
