I got an awesome email from a guy talking about his struggle with anxiety. My response was this.. Dude.. I love this.. You know what, wether your not you believe in any diagnosis - YOU will manifest the answer youre looking for. So if you choose it to be true - it will. How? Because everything you experience in this life. Your anxiety, your struggles, your successes, your fights, your love, your happiness is all funneled through, what? Your mind? through a deep process inside yourself. You want to know something? I was diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder, I had such severe social anxiety that I left university because the bus ride got too much. I was heavily depressed on and off the edge of suicide or at least thinking about it a lot, for years.. I tried many many pills and methods (all stuff outside of me) to help attempt fix - what was in me.. One day something changed. I call them clicks those defining moments in life, like something we cannot understand is giving us a divine signal..Whispering to us to change course and maneuver the mine field we call life..and so I listened. I let those clicks guide me through seemingly unbreakable cycles of behavior and life choices. Today 6 years on now Im 29 and havent used ANY form of medication in 6 years. I dont even believe those diagnosis were true now. In fact I know they are only as true as I CHOOSE them to be. I truly believe ive earned the right to say that. I am not mentally ill. I am not bipolar. I dont have an anxiety disorder. Im not depressed. My mind is the most powerful god damn tool I will ever possess and it has the power to be ANYTHING and everything we choose. Do I feel anxious some days or a little down on others? Sure. But I now see it for what it is - I know its just an emotion in the moment and I get to CHOOSE my state. See most people let their state dictate them. They associate with the illness and define themselves through it - I am a sufferer of depression, I am overweight, I am poor - Turn that around and do the opposite. dont let it define you. It is something you can change if you choose. BUT the first step is believing this very concept. Without that belief - you change nothing. You arent a person with a social anxiety disorder. No. You are a normal, healthy person who up until now wasnt looking inside enough and now that you are - you will find peace man. Trust me on that. Follow the clicks - It allows us to reach a higher consciousness into ourselves
