Mental Health ~ Anxiety: The Update Part 2

 This blog post is just an update again for myself and for who ever reads this to see how its going and how things are improving with myself.

I have found that music plays a huge part in how I deal with my anxiety and depression, especially with singers such as Ariana Grande and Ava Max. For example, Ariana's song's 'Breathin' and 'No Tears Left to Cry', and Ava Max's song 'So Am I'. These songs explain perfectly how it feels for me when dealing with my Mental Health on a daily basis. Also some much needed love for Julia Michaels song called Anxiety which explains in such detail exactly how my anxiety works and all the different thoughts that run through my mind all the time and how my reactions and actions are affected as a result of this.

Also due to my Anxiety, Social Anxiety and Depression, I find it incredibly hard to be able to sleep and actually relax and unwind. So through the lack of sleep I manage to make myself look more presentable for when I leave my house compared to the days when I just stay at home. In doing this I feel that I look like I sort of have my life together and am doing just fine. This requires an extensive amount of Coffee, whether that being a hot cup of coffee or a delectable Iced Coffee. Nether the less this doesn't completely help, so that's where the facemasks and moisturisers come in. The face masks help my skin to rest and relax and look more healthy as well as the moisturisers. I especially love eye masks, as they help to reduced the bags under my eyes and make me look like a million dollars, however they don't make me feel it. That was the beauty of having access to all these amazing products.

Moving slightly forward to my everyday routine and how I work with my Mental Health in being able to do anything, including everyday life situations such as getting out of bed and going to work. To deal with this I sort of mentally prepare myself, more of giving myself a prep talk in order to be able to leave the house. As bad as that sounds it was the only way I found that really worked with me. I have to, very rarely it happens but I sometimes have to remind myself that everything will be okay and that there won't be an issue if I get out of bed.

My Anxiety and Depression apparently isn't as easily treatable as my mental health issues are not a result of a chemical imbalance within the brain, although the imbalance was there at one stage within my mental health, but as a bi-product of the Anxiety, Social Anxiety and Depression causing the imbalance to develop. This as you might imagine really bothered me as I believed I would be stuck with these issues for life, which I have now come to terms with and accepted, much to some peoples disagreements.  See my Instagram post regarding my self harm scars and how I've accepted that my issues will always be part of me on my Instagram @baileycpcooper.

The main issue that I've found with my Mental Health is the not being able to sleep and being awake all hours of the night and day, but also the silly things like leaving my house and even making phone calls.

If you are intrigued to see what happens with my life and if my Mental Health improves stick around for more updates on my blog and Instagram.

Thank you.
