What was your first experience with anxiety like, and how did you recognize it?

[Shortie]

Anxiety is something that everyone experiences in their lifetime, it could be something that we go through rarely and can manage without issue but some of us could suffer from anxiety that can affect our day-to-day lives.

What was your first experience with anxiety like? How did you recognize it was anxiety? Did anything help you overcome it?

I understood that I am always shaking, fidgeting or trembling if I am asked to speak in a public place or do things where eyes are on me. It really caused me to avoid coming to speak in public. I have friends that start helping me and I read books about them too.

I realized that I start overthinking, especially a past scenario. I would sit down and tell myself that I could have handled the situation better. I would think of a better action I should have taken, and this really spoils my mood.
