How I Recovered from Social Anxiety... <3
I was 21 years old...
And suddenly one day...
I was scared of my best friend...
I had scary thoughts fill my head
making me so nervous...
I couldn't talk
couldn't focus...
I was absolutely terrified...
And then I became scared of other people...
Until I was terrified of everyone...
Everyone...
My life as I had known it was gone...
I lived in a bubble...
Unable to connect
Unable to make friends...
Unable to do the easiest of tasks...
And it lasted for years and years...
Until I finally met someone
who helped me find the light...
He helped me see that
Love and Honesty are stronger than fear...
All I needed to do was...
Find the LOVE
that had gone flipping into fear...
And find the HONESTY
of what I was really feeling inside...
And find ACCEPTANCE
of the anxiety symptoms themselves...
The symptoms weren't real...
They were just a sign
that I wasn't accepting
the real me inside...
When I embraced love and honesty
and showed it to the world...
And embraced the symptoms
for what they really were...
My anxiety symptoms started fading away. <3
.
I have made some videos on
how I overcame social anxiety.
Maybe they will help you too! <3
To your Connected Life...
