Today I'm coming with something more serious than usual posts... This week I had some exams and school works to do and I really felt like I was going to die.
I've been suffering with anxiety since I was really young (yeah guys I mean even younger than now haha) and I can't really find a way to totally overcome it but I've found some things that help me in any anxiety situation or if I'm having an anxiety attack. Also this things sometimes help me with any panic attack I can have :)
So here's a list of all the things I've been doing this days and I'm doing at the moment so I can somehow overcome all this stressful situation:
1. Spend all the time you want watching Youtube videos.
I know this may sound stupid but it really helps me! I literally spend hours on Youtube watching different youtubers and it really helps me not to thing about that stressing thing in my mind.
2. Listen to music!
Go on and get your mp3, phone or whatever you use and just listen to some music. Also what you can do is just go on the Internet and look for new songs you like! Of course listen to "happy" music and not depressing songs (even though they sometimes help...)
3. Go out!
Really! Stand up and move your ass! Go to the cinema, to a museum, to the park, to a party, for a walk... you don't even need money you just have to go out and get some fresh air even though you may be feeling is not worth it. Go for a run, call a friend... let your imagination out and just do something you like.
4. Talk to someone.
This may look harder than it is. I really have trouble doing this because I always feel like I'm annoying people but your friends are there to help you! Talk to them and tell them what you're worried about. Of course you can also talk to your family if you have a good relationship and they can really help you. If you don't find this is working then maybe you should think about contacting with a specialist, believe me this can really help you.
5. Write.
Write your feelings on a notebook of a sheet of paper, you can even start a blog! The thing is to get all that frustration out of you. You can also write a letter and then just burn it. No one needs to read it it's all about letting your feelings out.
6. Paint.
You don't have to be good at it. You can be the worst person you know when it comes about painting but it helps relax and thing about something different.
7. Read.
This one is a bit more difficult... I personally find reading super hard when I'm stressed or having anxiety. Anyway I know some people find it really helpful.
8. Do your make up or nails.
This is maybe a tip for girls (although I know some boys that like to take care of their nails...). This can make you feel prettier and help you. I really find it helpful when I'm stressed to do my make up, nails and hair!
9. Take some time.
Now you're not feeling well and this can last for a couple days, some minutes, hours or weeks; don't thing about that. Take some time to take care of yourself. Buy some new clothes, have a pamper evening, do things you like, anything that makes you feel more relaxed!
10. Be realistic.
This is the hardest one. You have to keep being realistic and know that staying in bed all day, not talking to anyone, and just not living wont help you. The world is still going while you're losing time and you'll feel awful when you finally realise it. If you're having a lot of anxiety because of an exam (for example), you have to know that life is hard and we'll always find ourselves on that kind of situations... You have to do that exam and still going on. Don't it stay in your way!
I really hope this little 10 tips can help you! If you try them and see they're useful please tell me with a comment below!
HAVE AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!
