SPEECH 1

Anxiety is a mysterious pain. There are times when everyone has felt uncomfortable or embarrassed. For example, meeting new people, giving a speech, or trying something that you're not used to with in front of people can make anyone nervous. This is all normal but with a disorder called social anxiety, the intensity of these s symptoms are much higher and can lead to a big amount of impact on a persons life. People with anxiety disorders aren’t the only people who experience anxiety; in fact, everyone feels it everyday, they just don’t know it. Anxiety is what you feel before a big game or an important test. It’s the source of excitement, like butterflies in your stomach. It’s what can prepare you for a big event; it’s the rush you feel. Depending on the type of person you are, it can be your best friend or worst enemy. People with anxiety disorders get this rush, but deal with it differently. Their mind and body turn this normally helpful emotion into a feeling of helplessness, and don’t allow themselves to get motivated. When you feel it coming, you get a rush of a million things at once. Thoughts taking over, nerves, shaking, becoming dizzy, overwhelmed, and the list goes on. People with this tend to become very concerned that they will do something embarrassing or humiliating, or that others will think badly of them. Their thoughts won’t shut off. They’re constantly running, making them worry and worry. It’s very hard to overcome because there aren’t many solutions. It’s a ticking time bomb, you never know when it will come.
