Anxious Thoughts

This is my story: The reason behind my blog is to begin to journal my struggles with anxiety and depression.  I've always enjoyed writing and figured that i can start to share my experiences with others and vice-versa. There are tons and tons of material to read and learn about anxiety but hearing it from someone else can sometimes make it just that much better.... to realize that you are not alone. Where do i start? I'll give you a little background on myself. I'm a young adult, as my parents like to call it, 21 year old male living on the East Coast. People would easily describe me as funny, charming, charismatic, helpful, caring, kind hearted, good-willed, easy going, laid back, calm, and easy to get along with. I was always the class clown and enjoyed making people laugh and generally have a good time regardless of the situation. All throughout high school I generally had a good time and lived my life to the fullest. I did smoke a little pot...actually quite a bit...
