Anxiety affects a lot of people's lives. A lot of people want to know how to deal with it, the authors want to help people like that. The authors will talk to each other about it.

Sam: Hiya!

Chazzy: Hey!

Sam: So another tough topic?

Chazzy: Yep, nearly every topic is hard, cause we don't know many of the other people that go through these things, therefore we don't at what rate they heal or anything like that. So pretty much every topic is a hard one.

Sam: Yeah that's true.

Chazzy: Yep, but we try our best to help other people and that's what counts!

Sam: Yeah! We do! I <3 You!

Chazzy: I <3 You Too!

Sam: YAY!!!

Chazzy: YAY, indeed, so do you want to explain what anxiety is?

Sam: Okay! Anxiety disorders by definition is: Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a racing heart and shakiness. What's your experience with anxiety?

Chazzy: Well for my first 2 performances at school this year I felt a little bit anxious. I would feel sick, my stomach wouldn't be my friend, my heart would race, my ears would be ringing a bit. My hands would be shaky and I would go pale. But after the 2 performances I started to feel comfortable performing, I actually started to take comfort in it and I just live it now. What about you Sam?

Sam: That's awful what you have to go through, Chazzy! I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in 2013, I think? I never left the house, I never left my room, I never felt incredibly unsafe in my own home.

Chazzy: Well actually, it made it easier for me because it made me realize that I was brave enough to actually perform.

Oh really? Well you're still very amazing Sam! Wow, well have you been feeling more safe lately?

Sam: Aww! Thanks , Chazzy! Not really, but it's one of my better years!

Chazzy: No problem, well at least it has been one of your better years. That makes me happy to know that!

Sam: My worst year was last year! :(

Chazzy: Oh, I wish I was there to make it better for you, Sweetie.

Sam: You have though!

Chazzy: YAY!

Sam: Haha!

Chazzy: So, is there any advice that you want to give to people who have anxiety?

Sam: You first.

Chazzy: Ok well, if you're about to perform, have you ever heard of "Pretend the audience is in their underwear"? Don't ever do that it will give you nightmares for the rest of your life. What you have to is think of two people that you love and they love you back, think about how proud you make them, That's my advice if you get what I would call "Performance Anxiety,".

Sam: Your ideas great, Chazzy!

Chazzy: That's what I do when I'm getting a little bit freaked out. I either think about you and my bf or I think about my parents. I think about how proud you guys are of me and then I'm all good to perform. So what's your advice Sam?

Sam: I don't really have advice since I can't really say go out there and do it, since I along with multiple people get panic attacks when I force myself to go do something. Just don't force yourself to do anything, I guess.

Chazzy: That's good advice, Sweetie! Also I have learnt, don't think too much before doing something, you're only encouraging yourself to get freaked out. I mean if I thought a lot before I did things, I wouldn't have ever done them in the first place, meaning that I wouldn't have learned some very valuable life lessons. Cause I'm one of those people who is all for taking risks and taking any opportunity they can or get. So don't force yourself to do anything, but don't be afraid to take risks and take any opportunity you get. We all only have one life and we have to live it to the fullest we can.

Sam: Good point, Chazzy!

Chazzy: Is there anything else you want to tell our readers that have anxiety?

Sam: Try not to let it define you!

Chazzy: Good one you have there Sam!

Sam: Thanks! What about you?

Chazzy: Don't let it get in the way of everything. Make sure you still have a life, make sure you still have fun, but also make sure that you are safe no matter what!

Sam: Very true!

Chazzy: I know it is, Sweetie!

Sam: Quotes?

Chazzy: My quote is "They tell me to stay strong, but they don't understand how it feels to feel so weak."

Sam: My quote has to be: "The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins." - Bob Maowad

Chazzy: Another one for me would have to be "Now I'm wearing this smile that I don't believe in, inside I feel like screaming,"

Sam: That's beautiful!

Chazzy: Really? I thought so too!

Sam: It is! I'm getting really emotional right now.

Chazzy: I'm not, but then I'm hungry so that's probably why.

Sam: Well I'm listening to Everything's Alright which is really emotional by itself so tears were inevitable in these circumstances.

Chazzy: I'm listening to She Looks So Perfect. I love that song!

*SINGS* JUST THINKING IF I SHOWED UP WITH A PLANE TICKET AND SHINY DIAMOND RING WITH YOUR NAME ON IT, WOULD YOU WANNA RUN AWAY TOO!?

Sam: *SINGS* SHORT STEPS, DEEP BREATHS EVERYTHING IS ARIGHT

Chazzy: *SINGS* CAUSE ALL I REALLY WANT IS YOU, YOU LOOK SO PERFECT STANDING THERE!

Sam: *SINGS* CHIN UP, I CAN'T STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT

Chazzy: *SINGS* AND I KNOW NOW, THAT I'M SO DOWN YOUR LIPSTICK STAIN IS A WORK OF ART!

Sam: *SINGS* SHE SAID I'M SAD SOMEHOW WITHOUT ANY WORDS

Chazzy: ...

Sam: *SINGS* I JUST STOOD THERE, SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER

Chazzy: *SINGS* GOT YOUR NAME TATTOOED IN AN ARROW HEART!

Sam: *SINGING WHILE SOBBING* WHEN THIS WORLD IS NO MORE THE MOON ALL WE'LL SEE I'LL ASK YOU TO FLY AWAY WITH ME!!!!

Chazzy: Wow, we've gone nuts for lyrics yet again!

Sam: *SOBS*

Chazzy: *HUGS YOU THROUGH THE COMPUTER*

Sam: *SOBS EVEN LOUDER*

Chazzy: Hey remember the SOSE class when my bf was walking past, I was sitting next to you, he was watching me through the window and he walked straight into a pole and told it to watch where it's going?

Sam: Really? I'm sobbing and you talk about your boyfriend?

Chazzy: I was trying to make you laugh 'cause you saw it as well!

Sam: I did but you just brought it out of the blue? It was kinda like crying then completely confused?

Chazzy: Sorry, I was trying to make you smile and laugh.

Sam: That's fine! I didn't want to seem rude though.

Chazzy: It's ok, next time I'll bring up the time Angel fell down the stairs or fell face first onto the ground at school.

Sam: I don't mind who you bring up? I just don't want to think about someone I love being in pain (I.g Jake, Angel etc)

Chazzy: Hang on you love my bf?

Sam: Are you serious? Haha

Chazzy: No, I was just tryna make a joke outta it.

Sam: I got that it was a joke I just found it really funny. (I snorted TBH)

Chazzy: LOL

Sam: Haha

Chazzy: I love you!

Sam: I love you too,Chazzy!
