I deal with anxiety because I deal with autism. My emotions are also impaired through extensive damage to the cerebral cortex, brought about through cerebral palsy, which is the primary cause of my autism.

Anxiety is Difficult to Control

If anyone has a history of mental illness, then anxiety is not something they will completely have control either. If you are a worrier, you can take control of your anxiety, but that will depend on how you deal with your worries. Looking back on my experiences, I am struggling to get my head around the fact that my issues with anxiety as a child were known, and overlooked.

Overcoming Anxiety vs Managing it

There is a big difference between overcoming anxiety and managing it. Managing anxiety is something we may control, through things like exercise and meditation, deep breathing, or through medication to bring symptoms under better control. Since anxiety is a chronic illness and there is no cure, it’s how we are able to manage it. The best way to manage anxiety is to learn to address worries, feelings and better lifestyles.

Conclusion

We need to consistently work at our lives managing stress levels and moving ourselves away from negativity, so that we can start to feel better in ourselves.
