Anxiety has me
avoiding people and situations
it has me losing my temper when there is no reason to
e quite so angry.
It has me walking away
from people while they are talking to avoid what makes me anxious
it has made me feel as though
I am not good enough,
Look to the rare small flaws
and discount or write off all that went so well.
Anxiety has found me
avoiding people assuming they don’t like me
it has me avoiding eye contact
isolating me from people who otherwise might have been supportive.
It has reminded me that as work
got
more challenging.
As I assumed more and more responsibility
I become more anxious
and stressed
which led to isolating everyone from me
As I rushed,
failed to make eye contact
tried to avoid yet more responsibilities
more demands placed upon me.
Now is time to become aware,
to figure out what makes me stressed
what makes me anxious
and find new ways to handle it, deal with it
situations and people
that are healthy
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can be beneficial in some situations. It can alert us to dangers and help us prepare and pay attention. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness or anxiousness and involve excessive fear or anxiety.
