Anxiety Sucks
I really hate how misunderstood anxiety is. I can't stand it. Sometimes I just feel really alone. Anytime I try opening up about how I feel I get some stupid "cure". Like no I'm sick and tired of being told to "just smoke weed" or "chill out" or "stop overthinking" it's so incredibly annoying. Over a million times I've been told to meditate, change my diet, jog, smoke, living a minimalist lifestyle, drink alcohol or even to do drugs??? The dumbest suggestion I've ever gotten was from a man I barely knew telling me about some former millionaire who cured his anxiety after giving away all his money and choosing to be homeless because having nothing took away all his problems. What am I supposed to do with that information? Being homeless isn't going to cure me. I'm not going to start drinking/smoking that's ridiculous. I'm not going to get rid of all my stuff, my knick knacks aren't causing my anxiety, I already go to the gym and I eat healthy.
It's just so frustrating how little people actually know about anxiety. This isn't a feeling or me just "overthinking" this is something I was diagnosed with. My grandmother has anxiety, my mom has anxiety and I have anxiety. Does it define me? No. But I just feel so misunderstood.
I just wanted to vent tbh, I'm not looking for advice. It's been a hard few days, to say the least.
