There are times when you feel that urge to talk to someone. Sometimes you want to open up your heart, cry out loud, and kill the throbbing pain pumping in your heart. Everything is calm and peaceful outside, but your heart faces chaos. You confront a constant contradiction with your mind. Every day is a debate in your mind. In all these situations, you do not understand how to share your feelings and with whom. You always keep feeling that if we share this with an XYZ person, either he will judge you or make fun of you.
These mixed emotions, put in one word, are known as anxiety. An anxious person constantly needs assurance. He can never explain what is going on within him. In a room full of people having fun, he will always feel a void of loneliness.
People often misjudge and misguide people facing anxiety disorder. They advise them to stop thinking whatever they are overthinking, which is impossible. This article is for the ones who are a victim of anxiety disorder. I am not assuring you that you will get rid of your anxiousness, but this might help you achieve peace.

3) Always say a yes to Laugh out loud. Be as happy as possible.
4) Try to pursue some hobby or interests of your choice. Be as productive as possible.
