There are a few things that trigger my anxiety. They are listed below:
- Conflicts– With loved ones, friends, or others. It hurts me the most when I get into an argument with someone I love.
- If someone I am close to is acting a little different than they usually are, sometimes I jump to conclusions and assume they are mad. I have been this way for a very long time.
- My anxiety is even sparked when I see an argument or fight happen. It brings me a lot of stress.
- Social Events/Parties- If I am surrounded by a lot of people I do not know, then I do get a little anxious. I would rather be surrounded by people that I know so I can feel comfortable and safe.
- Low Energy– When I get tired, I will get very anxious and emotional. Nothing has to happen, I just want to cry and I start to overthink life.
- Negative Thinking– I tend to use a lot of negative words about myself and situations that make me feel uncomfortable. If I start out my day saying,” Here we go, another long, tiring day,” then my day will not end up being as good as it could if I decided to say,” Lets start this day out right, excited to see where it goes,” instead.
- Being positive makes a huge difference in your day to day life.
- Financial Well-Being– I would get very anxious when I would struggle thinking about how I was going to pay my housing bill for college.
- I decided it would be best if I commuted for the rest of college, to save some money and erase at least one of my problems.
I am someone who does a lot of over thinking, due to my anxiety. I tend to be over cautious when it comes to new experiences. I could turn a normal situation and end up labeling it as dangerous , just because it is a new experience for me. I make problems out of situations when there was no need to start any problems. I physically make my life so much harder than it needs to be.
If I simply stopped overthinking and had a more positive outlook on things, then I would be a happier person overall. It is a work in progress though, and sooner or later I will get to the place I want to be. Anxiety and overthinking does not have to be a part of your existence and it sure will not be a part of mine.
