Living your whole life with anxiety gets exhausting and 90% of the time it feels like a curse you wouldn’t wish on your own enemies but as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned that there are some positives to how my brain works.

My anxiety seems to stem in part from my hypersensitivity to emotions and empathy. It seems like every emotion feels overwhelmingly strong to me. This is true for good and bad emotions. 

One great thing that has come out of how my brain works is that music has immense power over me. When I put headphones on and feed my mind/soul the genre of music or band it wants to hear at that moment my whole body and mind relaxes. My thoughts stop racing, my body feels loose, and warmth spreads from my head to my toes enveloping me in a high of sorts. 

I learned at a young age that music was the one thing that helped calm my anxiety. Each time it takes trial and error to figure out what music will calm me down at the given moment.

TLDR: I just wanted to spread some positivity today. I pray that everyone here finds something that gives them moments of bliss and sanctuary away from the battle we fight everyday. Remember friends everything is going be okay and it gets better I promise.
