Hello, I really need help with correcting my grammar on my essay. Thank you lots!
Instruction: Choose two topics from the book and reflect it to your life. You can only quote twice from your textbook and rephrase it (APA style). You cannot use any other source on your paper.
People experience with anxiety or depression in his or her life everyday. Anxiety can be a positive output for some people; however, it can also be overwhelming in one's life due to fear or stressful events. Most people have felt depressed at times, but those living in a long-term depression can interfere with his or her life.
It is normal for people to feel anxiety in their life, although, anxiety can become excessive. In 2001, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. Generalized anxiety disorder is the feeling of continuous tense and uneasiness (Myers 2012). At a young age, I struggled with abused, which caused me to worry uncontrollably. I felt agitated which led to scratching my arms and legs nonstop leaving bumps. My anxiety worsened when I found out my mom had uncontrollable type 2 diabetes; I feared that I would be a child without a mother. I had a hard time concentrating with school and life itself; I distanced myself from others fearing the worse things possible. Having this disorder throughout my life was challenging, it led my friends and family to act differently around me, I was disappointed about who I am which caused me to become depressed.
Most people with depression go through an emotional state. Major depression is the mindset of feeling worthless and reduced interest in activities (Myers 2012). In seventh grade, I was bullied for being myself, a girl who has anxiety. I never told my parents that I was being bullied; I thought it would subside, but I was wrong. I forced myself to be happy throughout middle school changing who I was as a person, leading me to be friends with the "popular" group. I felt completely depressed because I was acting like someone I was not, just to fit in, I felt isolated; I was in a dark place. I started to lose appetite, I was sleep-deprived, and I lost interest in activities with friends and family. The loneliness I was feeling caused me to self-harm to remove the pain I was in. As I got older, my doctor explained that my behaviors were caused by depression, and that it was genetic. My doctor recommended seeing a psychologist to understand what I was going through. Throughout my sessions, I learned that you should not be ashamed of who you are as a person, that it is a struggle living with both anxiety and depression, but to focus on the positivity of getting better.
Despite living with anxiety and depression, each day I learn about who I am. I accepted that I was different from most people, and not to place myself as a "nobody" or a "mentally ill" being. Each day I go through obstacles with anxiety and depression, and sometimes my old habits comes and goes. I remind myself what is important and what makes me content in life; I am no longer ashamed of living with such disorders.
