Having anxiety is not easy at all. You never know when will it strike or what will trigger it. There are days when I can walk into the gym and just have a total panic attack. I am ok until I walk in and bam – the anxiety instantly kicks in, and my chest gets tight, and I have to tell myself it’s ok, just to calm down.
