Dealing with anxiety is an understatement. I have had symptoms of generalized anxiety for nearly my entire life. I'm hoping to create a series of blogs to possibly guide those on living a happier life that suffers from anxiety daily.

It Takes One Important Decision
It has been months since I wanted to start this journey by putting my words to use by hopefully inspiring or helping others with anxiety, and furthermore, giving myself a platform to express my feelings. I want to assist in my own recovery from this on-going whirlwind of thoughts and feelings that runs ever so rapidly through my head without any control from myself. It has been a while because I have fallen in love.

You See Silver, I See Black
I know it has been weeks since you have last heard from me. I started my new job! It is a great job with wonderful co-workers. It has taken the physical challenges away from what I faced when I was cooking professionally. It has a relaxing pace for several hours, four days a week. However, my anxiety has been like the big bad wolf trying to blow down my house. Most people would think that a person in my position would be jumping and clicking his heels, but when anxiety slides in, you end up falling on your face.

Windows and Doors
It was indeed an interesting weekend. How Saturday morning started, it looked like it was going to be long and miserable. I had an incident with a fellow co-worker the day before, which got my anxiety going to the point where I attempted to call in sick on Saturday morning. I thought to myself since I haven't called in sick, I should be safe taking a day off. My anxiety was gnawing at me so terribly, I knew there was going to be another altercation between me and this co-worker because the management overheard how he spoke to me and was going to counsel him. Automatically, I thought he was going to treat me like I was the one that ran to management and complained. I knew I couldn't go to work. I called about three hours before my shift. What happened next shocked me. She wanted a doctor release for my return. I was stuck. I know most people wouldn't have let that bother them and not even attempt to skip work, but those with anxiety have a harder time making a decision.

If the First Step Doesn't Get You
I did it! As you may have seen, I started my new blog. Yesterday was a great day! It feels wonderful to deal with the onslaught of anxiety symptoms and defeat it by starting something new and challenging. Words seem to flow through my fingertips like water cascading down the mighty Mississippi River. My thoughts were coming from the heart, my intent of possibly helping others filled me with the passion that I often preach about but never seem to perform. Most importantly, I started a journal that will assist me further in accomplishing my ultimate goals. Daily writing to help myself cope with the emotions, thoughts, and feelings that continually swirl inside my head. To add to an already rewarding day, I also participated in some courses on YouTube so I can possibly put a face to some of my writings and speak to people, in a raw personal level, about my daily struggles and how I deal with the challenges that bombard me throughout the day. Then, of course, just like any other day, it ends, and the next day comes.

Vitality Adjustment
It sounds so easy, doesn't it? Getting it all started. To some people getting things started isn't a thought at all. Every day there are examples of people that do amazing things just by following their passions. Still sounds simple, right? If you follow what you dream about and have a strong passion to carry out those dreams it should be easy to get started. Right? It sounds to me that someone would be overly eager to do something that they are passionate about, get started without anything or anybody to get in their way. It is easy, for some. There are those that deal with what nearly 20 percent of Americans deal with on a daily basis and that is some sort of an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders can attack a person in many different ways. Some people may deal with one or two symptoms, some may have several symptoms that never give any warnings on when they are coming and going. It is a never-ending whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that sometimes control a persons life to the point to where they have to go see a physician, possibly take a prescribed medication, seek group counseling, or even take an all natural route with modern alternative medicine. I have said many of times, and you may quote me, "The people that deal with an anxiety disorder cannot explain it, and those that don't, cannot understand it."
