I Show How Anxiety Affects My Life Through Simple Comics

I think this applies to more than anxiety, but also introversion. Sometimes I make plans, and I'm all for it when I make them, but as the time draws closer, sometimes depending on my energy level, the less up for it i feel.

I could sleep all day if you'd let me.

That last one: "Why can't I simply enjoy it?" really hits home.

I'd like to wear that statement on a t-shirt.

#TRUTH

I'm a veteran in this event !

Crowds and loud noises...

Aren't we all..

That hits home so hard although it's just anxious and extremly sad for over 6 months and to be honest I prefer extremly sad

See, when its someone you are comfortable with, that kind of silence is appreciated.

Pranayama helps.

Yes

Actually, I did that 12 years ago: resigned job and apartment, sold car, took al my savings and left the country. Starting from scratch. No more insecurities, no idle fears, breathing again.... Best choice ever - for me!

Means it's time to close ur eyes n invent a happy place.

Yes cats! Kittens and pootats are the bestestest therapists!

For me It's IBS god I miss boobing

Yes! And panicking that you're panicking brings on an attack!

Doing something kind for someone really, really helps me. Supporting my wife, for example - it takes away all my self centered (!) thoughts and "fears". We have a children wish - so, it may sound stupid - but while this will cause "stress" it also shifts my view to the little thing requiring attention. Other than that: distraction helps a lot. Eating: be careful, I realized too late that I started to overeat as it made me feel "happy" - gained 10kg, now back to healthy dieting (less calories - no sports currently because see earlier images...sucks...)

Being a world traveler is my dream.. and I definitely have anxiety, so...

Start watching grey's anatomy. Always makes you cry once you got into it!

yeah now call..........call heavy breathy panting hyper ventilation oh wrong number

I tend to change my look once in a while. Should make a habit of drawing more often.

And the migraines! They're the worst!
