So, how do I cope with anxiety?
I take pictures.
But how does that help my anxiety?
Well, when i'm alone, my anxiety gets bad. My head starts telling me stuff that I am forced to believe and I get dizzy and it's difficult to breathe so I chew my nails off or bite the skin of lips because I become very aware of people around me and zoning out is not easy. I basically fidget a lot to try and get my mind off of it. It's really not that easy because nothing is louder than the voice speaking wistful words in your head. So, I look around. I look at the things that I find beautiful. And I imagine if I had my phone with me how would I portray it?
And that's how I calm myself, even though it doesn't do much. It brings me a little peace. And that's enough.
