Here’s the thing about anxiety; it’s not the same for everyone and it’s much more than that feeling you get before a big test. It’s draining. It makes you overanalyze every aspect of your life but keeps you from talking to others about it. And it’s not something that you just...

...stop thinking about. Sometimes it just hits you out of nowhere. One minute you’re fine and the next your heart is racing, the room is spinning and you feel like you have absolutely no control over your body. It’s crippling. It’s terrifying. Now throw depression in the mix...

...and now you’re most likely trying to deal with all of this on your own. Who wants to be a burden? Who wants to hear about how I feel out of control and depressed but at the same time “have no reason to be”. It’s hard. It’s really fucking hard. And just because someone’s life..

... appears to be all fine and dandy on the outside, that doesn’t mean that they arent completely falling apart on the inside.

But you’ll most likely never know that. If you’re like me you keep it all in because you know others can’t be bothered. And when you do reach out it’s not the support you need, so you just try to “deal with it” yourself.

Today I had one of the worst attacks I’ve had in years, completely out of nowhere. And I am so thankful that I have this outlet to say this all on because I know someone out there can relate. I’ve been sitting here crying as I type every tweet and it’s kind of crazy that...

... I think this is the best thing I could’ve done for myself today to just “get it out”. Thank you to those of you that read this and if you are someone who struggles with anxiety/depression my DMs are always open.

Also, a big thank you to my fur baby for being completely glued to my side all day because he knows something is wrong. He’s literally been licking the tears off of my face and won’t let me go under the covers fully. This pup has truly saved my life.

Wow.. I just woke up and Im so overwhelmed with the response Ive seen from this. So many of you are absolutely amazing. These are the DMs that are just in my requests & Ive received more as Im typing this. I promise Ill respond to each of you, but seriously, THANK YOU. All of you

Since I’ve received 60+ messages all from people saying they experience the same thing, I had an idea. If you would like to join a Twitter/Snapchat support group/message please fav this & dm me your snap username, age and gender. I would love to connect people that are going...

...through the same thing. I know some girls won’t be comfortable being in a group with guys and vice versa, so if you think this is a good idea and you want to participate, PLEASE DM me. I’ll snap all of you pictures of my fur babies whenever you’re feeling down

My snap username is kbattel, if you guys could help me out and add me I’d appreciate it
