When you tell people you have anxiety, they usually say that they have it too.
Everybody gets anxious. It's a general feeling that pretty much everyone will feel once or many times throughout their life.
When you tell people you have depression, they might say that they feel down at times, too.
Everybody gets depressed. It's a general feeling that pretty much everyone will feel once or many times throughout their life.
Those two terms should be able to be used freely by people who are feeling those ways without people with anxiety and depression jumping down their throats and saying that it's not okay for them to feel that way or without feeling offended.
Of course if you have anxiety and/or depression, you might feel as though things are worst for you, but other people can feel anxious and/or depressed, maybe just not the same way that we do.
I agree that there is a difference, but everyone should be able to express how they feel without someone saying that they "don't know what real depression is like."
However, no one should ever joke about having depression or wanting to commit suicide. I can't believe that it's 2015 -almost 2016- and people are still joking about this serious issue when anyone around them could be pushed over the edge at any moment.
It's sickening.
Everyone gets anxious before speaking in front of the class or before they have to write a test and everyone gets depressed when they lose a loved one or have some sort of traumatic event happen.
Feeling these emotions can cause disruptions in someone's life.
Recently it's been disrupting mine.
To be honest with you all, I don't know what's wrong. I've just been really anxious with school work, I was really anxious with swimming report cards and by the end of the day when I would usually write my blog posts, I just don't have the mental energy to write them.
If anyone read my blog every day when I posted on a regular schedule because they found it therapeutic or simply enjoyed it, I'm sorry for not being back on my schedule, however I'm not in a mental place right now to have a set schedule.
I promise that they will be relatively around the time I used to post my blog posts, every Sunday and Wednesday, but at the moment I'm focusing hard on my mental health and I hope that you can all understand.

Becoming More Reponsible
They say that you have more and more responsibilities as you get older and that you become more responsible, but that's not the case for everyone.
I've heard many stories of kids who grow up too fast, and that's another way to say that they received too many responsibilities at once and had to mature faster than they probably should've.
I can't say that I have a case like that, but I've definitely have matured quite a bit in just a little over a week.
Now that I'm a swim teacher, I'm currently trying to balance a total of four jobs. As I mentioned, I'm a swim teacher, I dog walk, I volunteer at a museum and I babysit.
That's a lot to balance alone, but you also have to throw in my softball schedule and gym schedule in there.
This is my first year being a swim teacher and volunteering at the museum, so I'm still trying to figure all of that out.
My schedule is crazy now. My softball team has missed about eleven or so games due to weather, so their constantly being pushed back and that affects everything else in my schedule.
It's becoming complicated to take shifts at the museum and take possible subbing shifts at the pool when I never know when I'm playing anymore.
This has caused me to become more responsible.
I went out the other day to buy a monthly calendar to be able to see my schedule for the whole month and not overbook myself.
Of course there are many phones out there that have calendars, and I do in fact have one on my phone, but it's a lot easier to have everything written down and be able to see everything at the same time.
When school starts up again, I feel like things will be okay.
I will still be working, volunteering and babysitting, but softball would be off the table and that's good because my schedule will be straightforward.
No delays, no cancellations, no makeup games, my schedule will be more regular.
In the end, it's good to be organized.
It might be a bit scary to have all of these responsibilities all of a sudden, but you figure out your own way to manage your schedule and your responsibilities.
My way is to have a calendar while to someone else, it could be having a schedule that doesn't change at all.
Either way, become more responsible is a challenge at first, but you learn.
I thought that I was going to be terrified with having so many responsibilities, but I found a balance that worked for me, so that's good!
Now I do know that this post is one day late and that I'm talking about responsibilities, but the reason for that is that I'm still trying to figure out my schedule for blogging.
I wanted to post this last night, but I only got home at around 11:30, and by then I was too drained to write a post.
In the end, I'm learning balance and how to become responsible and it shouldn't be something to be afraid of. It's an adjustment that we all make.
