What To Remember When The Days Are Hard

Social anxiety disorder is a mental health condition. It is an intense, persistent fear of being watched and judged by others. This fear can affect work, school, and your other day-to-day activities. It can even make it hard to make and keep frie

Bad days are an inevitable part of life and affect everyone at some point. They can have an obvious reason or they can creep up on you and bother you for what seems like no reason at all. But you can make it through your bad day if you take care of yourself and feed yourself with positive insights.

While anxiety is a normal reaction to danger, the body’s automatic fight-or-flight response is triggered when you feel threatened. It can help you to stay alert and focused, spur you to action, and motivate you to solve problems. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming—when worries and fears interfere with your relationships and daily life...This is when you’ve likely crossed the line from normal anxiety into the territory of an anxiety disorder.

When the days get hard, remember the following:

• Your mistakes do not define you.

• Not everything you think is true.

• You are more than other people's opinions.

• No one is posting their failures.

• You are never. ever alone.

It's okay to have days where the only thing you do is survive.
