Having fear grip you in a way that you can&#8217;t shake for fifteen minutes to a half hour is well &#8230; scary. It&#8217;s hard to imagine dealing with anxiety on a regular basis.

When I\u2019m feeling more anxious, my hands get clumsy and I tend to be hypersensitive to loud noises or lots of people around me. Sometimes I hyperventilate. My heart beats harder than I can believe, and I stutter and have a hard time finishing sentences. I also feel like I\u2019m going to cry or end up actually crying.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">How do you feel about your anxiety?&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nI\u2019ve had it so long, I can\u2019t imagine life without it. It\u2019s just a part of me. It\u2019s just a thing I have. Some people have asthma or diabetes. I have social anxiety. It\u2019s a part of my life, and I deal with it. Everyone has challenges, and while my anxiety might be a different challenge than someone else might face, but that doesn\u2019t make me some special snowflake.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What challenges does your anxiety pose?&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nSince most of my anxiety is social anxiety, it affects me primarily in how I deal with people. It makes the thought of inviting a friend over nerve-wracking. It makes it harder to ask questions at school, or approach a teacher about an assignment. I apologize a lot because I\u2019m worried I did something wrong. It makes it hard to go to school events or large gatherings with friends, or small-talk with someone I don\u2019t know.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Is there anything you like about your anxiety?&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nMy initial response to reading this question was \u201cWhat? Why would I like my anxiety?\u201d But it does help me when interacting with my friends who also deal with mental illness. Even when someone close to me is \u201cnormal-scared,\u201d I can use what I\u2019ve learned from my own experience to help them deal with it and calm down. It also makes being normal-nervous much easier. I love feeling nervous without feeling anxious. My bad days make my good ones shine that much brighter.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Do you think your day differs from others because of your anxiety?&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nMaybe not in any huge, noticeable way, but I think there are small things. I usually wait for my sisters or parents to answer the door. I usually carry a notebook around with me, since doodling helps me manage anxiety. I recently noticed that every time I pass someone I don\u2019t know in the school hallway or on a sidewalk, I automatically look at the floor. I have a habit of carrying my binder or a book in front of my body, or just crossing my arms. I make plans for what I\u2019ll do if I have a random panic attack in situations A-Z.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Do you have any cultural differences between others who also have anxiety and those who do not?&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nIt\u2019s actually interesting to examine how I interact with a friend of mine who also has anxiety, versus how I interact with friends who don\u2019t. I try to be open about it either way, but I\u2019ll deliver things differently. With other friends, I\u2019d say \u201can appointment,\u201d but with this friend, I say therapy. It\u2019s not that my other friends don\u2019t know that it\u2019s therapy. It\u2019s just kind of instinctual. When relating anecdotes or stories to each other, my friend with anxiety and I will say, \u201c. . .and I was feeling kind of anxious. . .\u201d. It\u2019s a more open dialogue, largely because we know the other will understand.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What are some stereotypes about anxiety that irk you?&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nIt drives me crazy when people romanticize or stereotype any mental illness. Social anxiety isn\u2019t, \u201cLOL I hate people so I\u2019ll just stay home and watch Netflix and eat food.\u201d Social Anxiety is desperately wanting to branch out and make friends and go out and talk to people, but having this thing in the pit of your stomach that says that if you go, something terrible will happen. It\u2019s feeling awkward when you approach someone, and cowardly when you don\u2019t. It\u2019s overanalyzing every conversation, looking for everything you did wrong.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What media portrays anxiety badly be it a movie, a book, or a TV show?<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nMaybe I\u2019m looking in the wrong places, but I haven\u2019t seen a lot of characters with anxiety, good or bad. Out of the few I\u2019ve seen, I\u2019ve never seen a terrible representation.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What media portrays anxiety well be it a movie, a book, or a TV show?<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nI have known two characters with anxiety. One is Gena from Shallee McArthur\u2019s book<i> The Unhappening of Genesis Lee<\/i>. Gena\u2019s anxiety immediately helped me form a bond with her, and seeing how she finds ways to work through it and still be an awesome heroine inspires me.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThe other character with anxiety I\u2019ve encountered is Phoebe, from the movie<i> Once I was a Beehive<\/i>. (It\u2019s not well-known unless you\u2019re LDS\/Mormon, but it\u2019s kind of a fun one. It\u2019s on Netflix.) Her anxiety is a little exaggerated, but the entire movie is meant to be cheesy and fun. Phoebe isn\u2019t the main character, but she\u2019s still extremely engaging and relatable, and the actress does an excellent job. She has a dog to help her work through anxiety, and while it affects her character a lot, she\u2019s also sweet and very intelligent. Both characters have anxiety, but are so much more than that.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Who are your top three favorite characters who have anxiety in books, movies, or shows?<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nGena and Phoebe are the only ones I know of, so this will have to be a top two list. I love both characters, because even if they\u2019re different from me, they show me two things. One, they have different ways of living with their anxiety, and manage to be great characters all the while. And two, they remind me that other people have anxiety, too. They help me feel like I\u2019m not alone.<\/div>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Paris-Warner2B-Phoebe2BOnce2BI2Bwas2Ba2BBeehive.jpg?resize=265%2C400\" width=\"265\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Phoebe from <i>Once I was a Beehive<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18.2px;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Thank you again, Katelyn, for your transparency!
