Bullied for having and anxiety

[Joanna]

Bullied for having anxiety , could be the worst feeling . Sometimes you are scared to be around others you don't know. Then you get to shaking and looking around if people are watching. Could trigger it more than it began with .There is possible ways to help anxiety. There is therapy , doctors and maybe other people out there that suffers from anxiety attacks. I admit that , I do have anxiety myself, I rage in tears. To.keep me calm I take a nice walk listen to smooth music to help me motivated my mind to bypass the things that makes me panic.

There was this story I read about a girl who had social anxiety. Her classmates thought she was being a snob and they all turned against her. Her parents were unwilling to let her change schools and when she couldn't take the bullying anymore, she killed herself. While one must do whatever it takes to fight social anxiety, they should stay away from what triggers their anxiety. For kids who are in school, that could be hard but for most other people you could simply cut toxic people out of your life and avoid them when you can.

I find that most bullying comes from people who aren't blatantly trying to be mean. They just don't take anxiety as a serious problem so they treat it casually as something that you 'just need to get over, snowflake'. When your family and peers accuse you of wanting attentions or being snob when really you just need your space to function normally. I think the worst thing that happened to me was that I was in the middle of an anxiety attack and when I tried to tell my dad, he told me to stop acting up while we were in public. When my lips turned blue, my anxiety triggers my asthma when it's bad, my dad yelled at me for getting myself so upset that I had an asthma attack. Fortunately, the lady behind me, who thought it was an asthma attack helped me through it so that I could at least breath. She glared at my dad but couldn't really say anything without making a scene. Still there is nothing worse than people who refuse to acknowledge that you're sick and that the last thing they need to do to you is yell at you and alienate you when you need someone the most. My dad still doesn't acknowledge it, he just thinks I have a bladder problem because I go have my anxiety attacks in the bathroom now.

I think I am fortunate in this respect. I have never being bullied for my anxiety. My family and friends have always been very supportive. There have been times when I really felt old and tired. They would always cheer me up. They keep pointing out that there are lots of people older than me who are still healthy and active. This is a blessing for which I am very grateful. I wish everyone who is besieged by anxiety will find family and friends to support them in their hour of need.

I love to walk too, Joanna! It gives me the chance to get my body moving and it feels really good to be taking care of myself without having to get all super sweaty with the more hardcore workouts ( I really dislike hardcore workouts for some reason).

The worse thing when you are bullied for having anxiety is when you are in a situation that you can't walk away from it. If you were being bullied for anxiety, then the best thing to do is to walk away from those people and hopefully never see them again. when people are suffering from anxiety, what they need is supportive people around them.

I haven't being bullied because of this but I can definitely see what do you mean. But I think that most of the times when things like this happens it's because people don't really know what is anxiety and how does their jokes can affect you, such as when you're a kid or around people who are not informed about this specific topic, and nowadays is really sad to hear that there are people who don't have the information about it, it's basically a need.
