I got in to the hobby of writing about two years ago when I was a freshman. It was a way for me to get out my frustrations with people or myself when I had no one to talk to. It was stupid little things sometimes, like monologues about a guy I liked or a diary entry about how the day had gone. I wrote when I was depressed for awhile a lot but for some reason I just can't seem to find the right words for anything now. I feel like even if I did have someone to talk to I couldn't talk about my anxiety. I cry a lot when I think about it. When my friend asks me if I've gotten help or if I'm going to see a counselor I feel helpless, like no matter what I try nothing is going to help. I know this is a bad mind set and I know that in the past things have gotten better. I'm no longer depressed like I was last year. But I never took medication for that or saw a counselor. I've been a little sad lately, just not depressed, which is good I guess. Mostly I'm afraid, and I guess by confirming that there is a problem I do feel a little better. Does anyone else write as a treatment for their anxiety? Does it help you? What's your best way of treating your anxiety?
