Anxiety....a constant battle...

So things can be going along just fine and then it happens...ANXIETY....it stops me dead in my tracks. The feelings of fear, dread, panic, and no explanation at all as to why I am having these symptoms. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for most of my adult life...enter in the occasional panic attack and that makes for a very frustrating time. Today for instant...dropped my sweet girl off an camp and I had no warning but here comes a migraine....UGH! The aura which makes my vision go crazy and also makes me a little confused is frightening. This has happened many times before but it still freaks me out every time. Cue anxiety and panicky feelings. I've gotten through it before, and I got through it again! I'm learning through journaling, prayer, breathing exercises and cognitive behavioral therapy to stop the runaway thoughts from taking over! I have in no way arrived but I feel like there is hope! Anyone who has suffered from anxiety I know can relate! It's hard to understand for those who have never experienced it. My prayer is that in some small way my story can educate and bring awareness and compassion to those who don't fully understand the paralysis of anxiety.
