Recently I feel like I'm scared about a lot of things. I'm worried and I'm nervous and I'm scared about committing to things. I feel like I spend half my time worrying and being scared, when really I should be putting that time into doing the thing I'm scared of.
I am really scared that I am going to fail doing whatever I'm doing now, whatever I'm doing in life. Anything I choose to do, I always think I am going to fail at it and I'm going to end up doing something I don't want to do.
          Another thing that scares me is the fact that I don't know what I want to do. I know what I like, but I don't know what I want and feel capable of sticking to.
          The third thing is that all my friends are really successful, and I don't feel like I'm successful, and I know that takes time and work and effort, but even if I did all that, I don't think like I could reach success. I am surrounded by people who know what they want, are either doing what they want or achieving it and I put a massive amount of pressure on myself which I guess is both a good thing and a bad thing. A good thing because it helps me push myself and do things I'm passionate about, but a negative because now I'm scaring myself.
          And the fourth thing, I don't only feel like I don't know what to do career wise, sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing with my time, my life, or anything.
          So I guess the thing to take from this, is that you can be scared of a lot of things, you can be scared about your work, your friends, what you are going to do with your life, but ultimately, that's what I guess makes life entertaining, because you don't know whats going to happen next and sometimes you have to take a gamble. So being scared shouldn't be a thing you be ashamed of scared of to some degree.
          What are you scared of? Are you scared of something more simple such as snakes or spiders? So am I. I am also afraid of the doctors and dentists. I always remember my mum telling me that when I was little (about 4 years old) they would have to wait for me to fall asleep in my pram before cutting my hair at the hairdressers because of how stressed out and anxious I would get, so is that maybe one of your fears?

     Anxiety is something we all experience from time to time. Most of us would recognize feelings of tension, worry or fear. But if you experience anxiety symptoms at higher levels than usual, or they stay at high levels for long periods of time, this could become really uncomfortable and interfere with everyday life.
     Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health problems, affecting 1 in 4 people in the UK each year. Still people within most societies view these people as threatening and uncomfortable and these attitudes frequently lead to exclusion or discrimination towards people with mental health problems, which can make it much harder for people to speak openly about what they are going through and seek the help they need.
     Anxiety can be present continuously or triggered by specific situations.
     For some people, anxiety can take over there lives, as panic attacks are an exaggeration of the body's normal response to fear, stress or excitement.
     Depression is another, more serious mental illness, and one that requires long-term treatment and support.
Many people suffer from depression, but sometimes it can make you feel as if you are alone in your struggle.
     Mental health problems are common, but nearly nine in ten people who experience them face stigma or discrimination, and this can be one of the hardest parts of the overall experience, as it can lead to the lost of friendships, isolation, exclusion, difficulties in getting jobs and so on.
     But it doesn't have to be this way. The aim of most Mental Health Campaigns is to encourage us all to be more aware about mental health and for us all to start conversations to help others.
