Hi! My name is Jasmin and welcome to my blog!
I started my blog to share my experiences with anxiety and the different methods that I have tried to manage it – some of which have been more successful than others!
Ever since I was a young child I have been plagued with anxiety, dwelling on the smallest things, worrying about anything and everything. I don’t think I even questioned it until much later in life, just accepting that’s who I was.
I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened”.

I first read the above quote in a book that a friend gave to me. It really resonated with me as I know I have wasted so much of it worrying about things that don’t end up happening, worrying about the ‘what ifs’.
I know that worrying is a wasted effort because it doesn’t change the outcome, but it’s something but I often dwell on the worst-case scenario, which I can’t let go.
I’m determined to change that though and I’m learning to be more mindful and grateful for the present moment and accepting that life will happen no matter what I do and that worrying won’t change it.
I gave up alcohol last year, partly due to the next anxiety that I experience. I am on a journey of sobriety and documenting a lot of things and feelings I am experiencing in the hope that by doing so it might help someone else who is going through the same thing.
I’d love to hear from you or if you have any comments on any of my posts. If so, you can contact me at [email protected].
