Youth Anxiety

Indledning
Have you ever felt at unease, dreading the worst in every possible situation, feeling like the world was watching every action of yours? Are you often in situations where you feel nervous, tense and maybe even unable to relax because of the thoughts in your head?

You are not alone. These are signs of anxiety. They come with symptoms like restlessness, sweating a lot, making your heartbeat go faster and often also give you physical pain like a stomach ache or a headache.

People don’t understand what is causing a lot of their daily struggles, and with a disability that can’t be seen, since it’s in their head, people tend to make it the least of their priorities.

Uddrag
Today we prioritize mental health, and while trying to make the government make it just as important as hospitals, we help each other. There are thousands of organizations that are willing to help anyone that wants to get help.

Our generation have fought for our mental health, we have fought for a voice among the elderly. Trying to save ourselves from falling apart and saving a future that depends on our ability to function. A battle worth fighting for, I would say.

In Good Morning America they talk about how social media is ruining our mental health. “Experts say while many students are posting highlight reels of the perfect college experience, they are also hiding their struggles, anxiety and depression.”

As a young person, a student, a sister, a friend a workaholic, an over-achiever and just like many others, a person on social media. I thrive to make everything look easy.

I don’t get perfect grades, I’m not always the best sister, friend, or classmate and in reality, I often feel great amounts of stress to the extend where I have weekly break downs.

I want to do it all. I want to experience everything my youth have to offer. I want to live while I’m young, but I still have to care for my future.
