Em's Netball Story
For many years I have suffered with anxiety. I have hit some real lows throughout my life. My main struggle was with SAD - (social anxiety disorder) . I would get so nervous about attending events, even nights out with my friends.. overthinking days, hours beforehand ...what if I make a fool of myself!..what if nobody likes me!...I would work myself up into such a nervous state that I would end up cancelling! My inner thoughts were becoming louder than my own voice! It was at this point I realised I had a mental health problem but with the right support, techniques and help from my friends and family I came out the other side!
How I manage my anxiety now is quite simple! My love for sport has always been huge but the way I feel when I play netball is just another level! I get performance anxiety and I'm so nervous before every game but I have learned to channel that anxiety and turn it into energy! (my team call me the Duracell Bunny!lol)
