I think the the beginning was very
confusing because you don't know what it
is or where it's coming from in my body
and in my head I couldn't escape it it
was it was this overwhelming fatigue
that I could never shake off it's
hurting you you cannot sleep it's
exhausting
for years I didn't know what it was
people ask me
how does it feel to being
[Music]
when I describe my anxiety and it's
different for everyone for me it's a
massive tightening of the chest like my
whole upper body just gets constricted
like it's hard to breathe
[Music]
have an ADHD I'd say it's like
everything and I think coming to your
head all at once it's like voice is just
screaming for my attention clumsy
everyone has difficult moments even
professional athletes I always get
hateful comments in the internet it was
affecting me sleeping sometimes because
every time you go to bed to check your
phone
so depression for me felt like this
negative energy that was really heavy
inside of me but also emptied me at the
same time I felt numb
I was feeling suffocated almost like I
was drowning you spend a lot of time
blaming yourself
I felt heavy weighed down and I just
wanted it out of my body I wanted it
gone I just knew I had to put my hand up
and reach for help
the effects I was playing sports it's
such a freeing experience the moment I
step into the Rings the one time my mind
slows down and I have carry every time I
finish practice I feel more happy just
what exercise does for my well-being not
only physically but more mentally cause
my mind it helps me to live the life
that I want to live free in the mind
from the stress that I have outside the
court
to professionals by tracking my own
Thoughts From the Same myself a little
bit more I tell myself that I will never
adopt myself again and nothing is
impossible for me
[Music]
