If you suffer from anxiety it can be difficult to perform even the most easiest and every day tasks. Saying hello to the childhood friend you bump into, asking for help in a shop or even simply getting to sleep can prove to be impossible tasks. I've suffered from anxiety for as long as I remember, whether I knew it at the time or not. And in that time I've tested so many non medicated anxiety cures. Most of which did nothing for me. Apart from music. You can tell by my other playlists, and posts in general, that music is a huge passion of mine so it's really comes as no surprise that music is what I use to calm my busy and over thinking head. I don't just shuffle my iPod when I need to calm myself though. I've discovered that playing loud music works best. It drowns out all the background noise and also helps to shut up the white noise in my head. This method is fine when I can just space out and not have to participate in anything. But we all know that real life doesn't stop because anxiety flares up and more often than not I need to be somewhere or do something, usually in public and with people I don't know, when my anxiety is in full throttle. During these times I have a separate playlist of quieter, more mellow songs that I can listen to on the go when my eyes and ears need to be on high alert. So today I have for you the two playlists I listen to in order to quell my over active and sometimes self destructive mind.
