Imagine being absolutely paralyzed by fear, but not knowing what you are scared of. Imagine not knowing why your brain is telling your body you need to run and hide. Then imagine trying to act as though you are completely fine while these feelings are screaming through your body. Anxiety is completely debilitating and yet we have teens and young adults among us who are living with it every waking moment.

I realize not every person with anxiety can get themselves out the door. I know they are doing their very best. I hope and pray you’ll keep fighting. Make sure you are getting help through doctors and counselors. This is a fight you can win.
