Hey Guys,

Firstly, let me introduce myself… My name is Lauren and I’m 21 years old. I have been blogging for around 2 years now and my blog is based on lifestyle/health. I wrote a blog post over on www.laurengt94.co.uk about living with anxiety. This was something that took a while for me to share amongst my readers. I saw that Kimberley was looking for guest bloggers to feature on her blog surrounding mental health and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to express how I cope with anxiety.

I suffer with Social Anxiety. This anxiety is described as a fear of being judged and evaluated negatively by others. I have suffered with this from the age of 19, as the years have gone on it has seemed to have calmed down a lot. There are little triggers that tick anxious moments in my mind as I am constantly saying What if? or What do I look like? Anxiety has no warning signs, which is something people around me have learnt.

Everywhere in life we hit a wall and it is all about making decisions. Anxiety can sometimes stop us from making the right ones. It has taken me around 3 years to learn how to cope and to try and think positive about life situations. Below is a list of 3 things that I do to try and overcome my social anxiety.

I hope this has given you some insight into how I cope with anxiety and what my anxiety is all about. Feel free to follow me on my social media accounts and check out my blog.
