**** Warning - Personal Blog Alert
Anxiety
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe.
Everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their life. For example, you may feel worried and anxious about sitting an exam, or having a medical test or job interview. During times like these, feeling anxious can be perfectly normal. But some people find it hard to control their worries. Their feelings of anxiety are more constant and can often affect their daily lives.
This is the definition of anxiety on the NHS website. To be honest when I wrote the title 'Anxiety' to start this blog I started to cry. I have always considered myself a strong person who just gets on with it and battles through. Something has changed about me during lockdown that I cannot wholly put my finger on. I have started to suffer with anxiety. I am not sure if its mild or severe. However the impact it has had on me starting my module 3 has been a negative one. It has made me reluctant to start. Every time I go to pick up a book or my laptop something happens to make the whole process harder. For example today. My laptop has taken an hour and a half to turn on. I mean if that isn't enough to make you want to give up I don't know what is.
I am constantly saying to myself stay positive, you can do this. Trying to juggle a 2 year old who's favourite word is 'no' also does not help! Do you ever feel like something or someone is against you? How do you overcome these negative thoughts? I have never been this type of person.
Starting back at school has been mayhem. I feel like I have been awake for a month. Foggy head, sore eyes achy limbs. I am not suggesting this blog will help anyone, but selfishly it has just helped me to write down my feelings.
I am determined to do this for myself and for my son! If anyone has any tips or advice on powering through and worrying less please comment below.
I am thankful for these ways of communicating.
