Blog 5: Anxiety

 

Hi people, I hope that you are doing great. This time I want write about something different. I wasn’t sure writing about my anxiety, but I think that when I write about it, I express myself and it calms me down. Well, I don´t know when the anxiety started but I remember that  since I was a kid, I have an obsession for controlling things.

When I don´t have the control, I start to blame myself, so many times I tell myself that I am not good enough and it really hurts me.


Some days I’m great, another days I´m fine but anothers I feel lost. Sometimes it seems like I am on a swamp and I can never get out. This sensation appears when I have exams or oral presentation, but it isn’t in every evaluation, it just appears when I can´t control or haven´t the knowledge at 100% on the exam.  Also appears when I have many troubles or things in my head, I can barely concentrate, sometimes I start to shake and my fingers feels numb. Another times, I feel like someone is grabbing my neck and my throat explote. Last year, I went to theraphy to have tools to control the anxiety. Some days I can endure things but other times I can´t. Specially this year, because sometimes the lockdown drove me crazy and I couldn´t go out to clear my mind.

 

Have you feel the same way? Do you have anxiety? What things do you do to endure the anxiety?

    I understand you a lot, anxiety is hard to bear, but I think you should not blame yourself because clearly you can not have control of everything always:( there are many things that escape us and we must set limits, surely you are an incredible person! but you’re not seeing it:( To control the anxiety at least I exercise and read self-help texts if I feel very disoriented, I hope you can continue your therapy and manage to surpass yourself and love yourself very much <3

    Ooh anxiety is a topic that happens to me very often just like you. And it also usually happens to me when I have evaluations or oral presentations, it is very difficult to control it. However, if you do relaxation exercises, drink water and try to organize your time, it usually helps a lot to reduce it and be able to feel better in those different situations that generate anxiety.

"Animal Sanctuary"

  Hi, everyone. Today I'm going to write about my future job. Since I was a Kid, I like animals. But I didn´t want to be a vet, because I wanted to be a fireman or someone like that, but as I was growing, I was knowing some vets that really care about animals health. So, I decided to study veterinary to become on one of them. Well, in present. I’m in my fourth year and I can´t decide what will be my future job yet, but I’ve thought in some jobs that I would like to work and one of them is: working on an Animal Sanctuary. In 2014, I read about one person that inspired me. She is Jane Godall. She is a British ethologist, environmental activist and she Works with chimpanzees. Like Jane Godall, I would like to work on a Sanctuary with vulnerable species and help them while I study their behaviour. I want to know everything about them, like their relationship with the same and other species, what food do they like?, how many hours do they sleep on the day?, how do they play wit...

A photograph that I like

Hi everyone, I hope that you miss me (lol). Today I will write about a photograph that I like so much. Well, I am not sure that who took the picture but I think that it might be my mother or my grandma in the end of  90's. Probably, I was 1 or less than a year. Because barely I could walk without help. In this photograph, I was with my uncle (Manuel or "Tio Toni"), my sisters (Lesly and Victoria) and Oso (The dog). In this photograph, my uncle was 10 and my sisters were 9 and 8 years old. We were in the house of my grandmother and we were playing when somebody take the picture. This picture is very special, because it remember me, my childhood with my sisters and my uncle. We always climbed trees, went to explore some hills, played with animals, because my grandparents have goats, cows, chickens, horses, ducks, dogs and cats, swam in lakes near of my grandparent´s house and We loved to catch crayfish and frogs in those times.  The last activity, was our favorite. Also, I ...
