Confidence and anxiety.

Dealing with anxiety and confidence.

Hi Guys!

Dealing with anxiety alone can be difficult, not been able to talk to someone about how you are feeling because of your anxiety or just not been able to do anything because your anxiety is holding you back, is quite frankly the shittest feeling I have ever experienced.

I can't go out the door without checking that I've got everything about 4 times, because I'm worried that if something goes wrong when I'm out and I haven't got enough money, or my phone or my house keys something will go really wrong. Along with anxiety I have confidence issues too, yes I know at least 99.9% of people in the world have confidence issues but paired with anxiety is just horrible, some days I don't want to leave the house because I am so shit scared of what people are thinking of me, of what my hair looks like, what I'm wearing and what my makeup looks like. And today, I have been feeling the lowest I have been for a while, and I confide in my friends, which is advisable because your friends and your partners are there for a reason, to confide in, to let you know you're not alone.

Anyway, as I was saying, my friend, who I shan't name as she might not want to be has given me the best advice I have been given in a long time, and basically its to not let anyone get you down, you take the stage, you be the person you want to be, don't be someone who you don't want to be, basically don't let no bitch get you down, it isn't all about looks and big assets, its about what YOU are about who YOU are.

What I am trying to say is, if you aren't confident or you are dealing with anxiety, or both, do not let it get you down, do not be defeated by that demon inside of you. When you walk, you strut, if you want to 100 selfies, you take them selfies, don't let anyone say 'You say you're not confident, yet you take photos of yourself?' maybe thats helping build your confidence, why should they know how you're feeling? WALK AROUND LIKE YOU OWN THE PLACE.

I am really hoping that this little rant/vent/advice is helping people, because in all honesty, my friend has really helped me tonight, and I am going to bed with that feeling of 'I am my own person, I don't need any one else's permission to be what I want to be.' You start believing in yourself, others wont need to question it.

These images are about confidence and anxiety, I hope at least someone takes something away from this.

Until next time
