My Anxiety Story | Intrusive Thoughts, Panic Attacks & Learning it's OK to get HELP
2020 was the year that slapped me in the face and made me realize that I didn’t have my anxiety “under control” as I always told myself. I had a record amount of panic attacks and anxiety attacks… of which I lost count after 6. Had 2 panic attacks within a 24 hour span. All in all, I was drained. I was exhausted. I was tired of losing days at a time, with barely any recollection of what I did those days, due to being stuck in my own mind.
Living with anxiety is not fun. It can be debilitating. I’ve been dealing with it for well over a decade now, but in 2020, I spiralled more than I had ever spiralled with anxiety before. But the beauty of falling deeper and hitting your lowest low, is that you can recognize that maybe you need help. And that’s ok.
So I wanted to share with you guys my struggles with anxiety… and the sad intrusive thoughts that cause me to spiral. I hope my story can make you feel a little less alone in your struggles with anxiety and realize it’s ok to admit that maybe you need to reach out and get help.
Also - if you are suffering from anxiety… you’re not broken. You’re not crazy. You’re just a human being who may be struggling right now, because life is not always easy. But you are normal. You are complete. You just need to reach out for help and be kinder to yourself after anxious moments.
Sending love! Thanks for watching, guys. Love youuuu

*WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ME?*
My name’s Natassia and my goal is to make women feel like they can feel stylish at any age and size. I’ve always been passionate about fashion, but I also am ALL ABOUT self-love and self-care, which is the reason I started this channel! I wanted to bring two things I really care about together: fashion and self-love. I want every woman to feel comfortable in her own skin, because I spent many years uncomfortable in mine… and fashion is one of the things that helped me come out of my shell.
