This week, I destroyed relationships and strained friendships because of my anxiety. I continuously held onto something that I rationally knew wasn’t going to work, but I kept pursuing it because it fulfilled the emotional void.

Today was the last straw, and the person I’ve been talking with for a month finally ended it. When I read the message, I wasn’t sad or distraught like I that I would be. I was instead relieved and felt like a weight on my chest had been lifted. I was so afraid of letting go of these people and connections out of the fear of being alone, but I realized that holding onto them was making me more stressed and anxious and an overall negative person.

So I let it go, and it was the best decision I made this entire week.

I started seeking professional help because I was finally done having anxiety rule my life and I wanted to finally be the best version of myself.

It seems hopeless to fight against your own thoughts, but if you’re willing to let go of the things that cause you so much anxiety, I can guarantee that you’ll end up feeling much better.

Wishing you all the best!
