Why this blog?

I'm pretty busy with life. Busy with my husband. Busy with my 3 kids. Busy working, busy cleaning, busy cooking, busy sewing and crafting. Some people attribute my anxiety to my life stage-- to what I attempt to tackle each day. They say that if I just took it easy and relaxed that I wouldn't be anxious. They don't know that when I am still, I am just as anxious, if not more so. I decided to start this blog because I'm sure I am not the only one out there who struggles with anxiety-- who has to decide whether or not to take medicine, or go to counseling, or learn breathing techniques, or just deal. I've tried to do research on the internet, but so much of what I find is so technical or states what I already know. I yearn to read the experiences of someone like me-- to know that I'm not alone, and to find comfort in association. If you are reading this, I am sorry that you also suffer from anxiety, but I'm glad that you found me. Let's journey through this together.
