Recently, I experienced something which I never thought I will - Anxiety. Yes, I suffered from anxiety, as recently as 2 months back. So basically what happened was that, due to the lock down, classes were all held online. And...as you know, if you conduct a test online, how students write their tests 
Now, I always used to believe (And I still do) that I was mentally tough and depression and anxiety ain't big deal. But turned out, it wasn't. Though I study pretty well, I always used to stand at the extreme bottom in the weekly tests (which were held online). There's a legit reason for it though. The test I'm preparing for is the 4th toughest exam in the world and why am I doing that? In short, it decides my career. I didn't really care about my marks until one time, for 3 consecutive weeks, I stood the last.
That's it. It really cracked me from inside and I started overthinking. Thoughts like "What if I fail the exam?", "Is my career over?", "I don't want to take this anymore" and all that crept inside. I was really worried about my future. I had the guts to speak about all these things to my parents and they motivated me (Which unfortunately, didn't had much effect). I had lost interest in all the things I used to do before (Even EFC and ET) and had lost my appetite. I woke up and slept in fear everyday. One day, I even cried regarding all my anxieties and my parents kept supporting me. It continued for 3 dreadful weeks and I "almost" went into depression.
After 3 weeks, tests were held offline and...you guessed it, I scored pretty well and catapulted to 4th in my class! At that point, I came to realize that -
1. I was overly worried.
2. Most of my classmates had a lesser understanding of the subject than me, also less than I thought (No offense).
3. Always believe in yourself and never give up.
One more thing I'm proud of myself is that I had the courage to speak about openly to my parents. Many people eventually go into depression if they don't do. I'd say that I was almost on the brink of depression and if tests weren't held physically, who knows what would had happened? It also made me appreciate the people who believe in me (My parents), no matter the circumstances. Moreover, not only me, but literally everyone whom I asked felt really tensed when studying grade 11, so I was not the only one who doesn't understand anything in the syllabus lol.
And how am I now, you might ask? I'm basically back to my annoying, goofing self. That John Marston, who constantly annoys people by tagging them in the Random area continously and who makes lame jokes on which no one laughs and keeps roaming around the forum shouting "EW4 is the best ET game" and "Vatutin is best MT in GoG3" lol. In short, I completely recovered from anxiety, so a yay for me!
Have you got any stories to share here? Or are you suffering from mental issues as such?
