How I Manage My Anxiety Without Medication
I learned to swim when I was about nine years old. Nobody taught me. In fact, I don't even remember how I learned. I just remember, one day, my mom had taken my siblings and me to the local public pool, where I had been swimming freestyle from one wall to another. When my mom noticed, she called out to me and said, "I didn't know you knew how to swim!"

Being "Functional" With a Debilitating Mental Illness
Yesterday was hard for me. I was dealing with anxiety and the onset of what could have easily become a manic episode. I was repressing a panic attack from the moment I woke up until about mid-afternoon. And I fought myself every second throughout that day to keep from physically running away from work, and hiding somewhere to let the episode take me over. But I didn't because we were short-staffed, and that would have been devastating to my store.

A Look into the Life of Someone with Anxiety
I was nineteen going on twenty when I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Deep down, my whole life, I had a feeling I had anxiety but no one likes a self diagnoser. I finally took a step out of my comfort zone and asked my mother if she truly trusted her doctor. I asked her if he was good. I told her how I really felt around people, I knew or didn't know, places that were new to me, doing things on my own without someone else's assistance. I despised talking on the phone with anyone, even now. I would get nervous and mess up my words when I spoke. Leaving voicemails was a struggle because my mind would go blank and I wouldn't be able to remember what I was supposed to say. I get nervous when being questions at the doctor because I can never remember my family's medical history. I get anxiety when I get voicemails from people or when I get mail. I fear that it would be something bad.

Lost & Found
THINGS WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME I remember the cold Melbourne winter night that I woke up with a jolt and sat bolt upright with sweat dripping off my brow and the feeling of my heart beating out of my chest. Was I having a heart attack? I'd always been one of the lucky ones who would go to bed late and sleep through the night solidly and wake up feeling refreshed, so to wake up in such a way was enough to start my mind racing.

Natural Remedies to Alleviate Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety disorder is considered a nervous condition that is brought on when a person is experiencing an overwhelming feeling of fear, doubt, uncertainty, nervousness, and apprehension. Symptoms associated with anxiety attacks are irritability, restlessness, racing thoughts, nervous tremors, inability to concentrate or focus, and sweating. Although anxiety is a normal reaction when one is faced with challenging situations, some people struggle with more intense anxiety, which can be disabling because of the frequency of the attacks and the uncertainty of when the attack will take place. Most people diagnosed with anxiety disorder have a very difficult time performing daily routines and maintaining healthy relationships. There are many forms of anxiety disorders and quite a few risk factors that can cause the development of anxiety disorders. People who suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder suffer from excessive fear and worry more days a week than normal, and can last longer than six months. Those who suffer from Panic Attacks can experience an unexpected occurrence of symptoms, which are brought on by triggers, which may bring back memories of bad situations, causing the person to be fearful about their current situation.

Anxious
I started seeing a counselor when I was still in high school. However, I didn't start getting panic attacks until the late '90's. They snuck up on me. At first I didn’t know what they were. I was depressed at first. The anxiety came later. By 2000, I knew I was having panic attacks. I was misdiagnosed as bipolar, back then.
