General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hello Everyone! 


My name is Brielle and I'm studying Social Work at the University of Akron. I graduate May of 2019 and can't wait to go to grad school and start my fulfilling life as a Social Worker. I've been assigned to discuss and interact with a chat that intrest me or relates to me for my Social Work Practice II class. Anxiety makes up about 80% of my body, I just experienced an virus that attacked my body in ways I don't even want to think about again. During the period of me being sick I experienced multiple anxiety attacks, negative thoughts, emotional breakdowns, and a sense of wanting to give up. The anxiety isn't that bad anymore since I started to feel better, but I still may experience a smidge every once and a while. I started taking a stress reduction class which is gradually helping with the more information I learn. I'm excited to interact with everyone in the chat, and ready to learn some ways on how to lower my anxiety!

Hello Brielle,

Thank you for sharing. I have also felt that I want to give up. That feeling really hurts.

Welcome! Medication and counseling by a mental-health professional is good; couple with exercise that releases chemicals that can lift your mood, increase your energy, and improve your sleep. Record your thoughts and feelings in a journal. Also please don’t overlook your spiritual needs: Pour out your heart to God in prayer…it can help calm you.

Welcome to the group. It's always good to remember that anxiety is natural and when we make it work for us, success is possible.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
