'I haven't quite reached Y yet'




This is a first hand account, this is my life for the past 2 years. I personally don't think enough is done about this, and i hope by posting this i can try and inform people about Anxiety. It has been severely affecting my life for over 2 years now, but i hope i can fully get to the Y soon.

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-11-05
The message is clear. 'Anxiety' by =toslayadragon absorbs shock and translates it. Anxiety is something we have all felt but haven't put into so many words. The ending is bitter sweet. ( Suggested by `TouchedVenus and Featured by `patgroove )

I have anxiety too. I can't cope with going into classrooms, the noise is overwhelming sometimes. And I allways have this fear that somethings gonna happen when it probably isn't. My throat tightens up and I start shaking and crying. It's so embarrasing and so terrifying. I don't have the best attendance because of it.
I guess anxiety isn't virtually explainable. When someone asks me "Why do you act like this?", I can't really explain it. I think the best explanation of it is that something has taken over me. It's not me that's making myself acting like this, it's something else.
I am getting very, very slightly better at dealing with this (I've had it for years...), but I'm having a lot of councilling to help me. It helps a bit, but not much. But I'm seeing this group of doctors who seem like they know what they're on about at the moment and hopefully they'll find a solution to stop my panic attacks.

Aaaaaaanyway, long moan about my personal life out of the way XD This really shows what sufferers go through. I hope I can reach the "Y" one day and not make everyone around me upset. That's the worst thing; watching everyone run around to make you happier, worrying constantly :(
Thanks for putting this up :)

this really does make you stop and think, being with someone who has strong anxiety really does open your eyes to just how hard day to day life can be, it really is a nice feeling when even if its just small someone you do can make them just the little bit better, this is a really deep piece with great understanding. well done!.

As artists, many onlookers often refer to our meticulous ways as practical craziness or borderline insanity. In many cases it might be true. Embrace your inner asylum.

See, this helps me realize that there really is a way out. I've been going through a rough month or so, and no one actually understands how scary and debilitating this condition is. No one understands how much this affects me. I'm sorry you had to go through this as well. I'm looking forward to making my way to the Y.

I've dealt with social anxiety disorder most of my life. Right this moment, I've just hit the bottom of that hole. I feel useless and shaky and like I'm going to freaking lose it all the time. But I'm not giving in that easily. I'm determined to reach Y. I'm so sick of this anxiety ruining my life. I miss living.
I'm sorry you have to go through this too. Thanks for bringing it to the attention of the world. :hug::heart:

Well, i cant give you an upto date an answer as i haven't been on DA alot lately so dont know.... However if its the same as before:

Certain people can feature pieces that fit their category.... ie the head of macro photography can feature a piece. Pieces are usually suggested by users to that head.... or you used to put forward your own piece to be a DD. Notice the DD on this piece states:
