Over my sophomore and junior year of highschool I was going through a battle with myself. This was the battle of mental illness. According to Webster’s Dictionary, anxiety is “fear or nervousness about what might happen.” This might be the literal definition but it is not a statement that can incubus everything I felt through these two years of hell. Anxiety for me is an overwhelming, consuming, and hard to escape feeling, it takes my breath away, and leaves me feeling completely exhausted. As one can imagine, it's hard to have your attention focused on school and that test you have tomorrow when you have to focus on the basic skill of steady breathing. Depression was also a huge issue that I am still and will always be in a constant battle
