Don't let your strength become your weakness

Sometimes too much success is the reason behind self stress and anxiety, yes! You read it right, let’s just start with one of my friend’s story; she had an amazing, loving family and friends circle. Her life was great, she was doing a great job, success kept knocking on her door one after the other opportunity, but this made her alone!! Everyone considered her perfect, everyone thought that she was the best no one could beat her in any competition that’s why she start hiding her fears, her guilts, her sadness because she thought if she shared her issues with anyone this would affect her image and   struggle of hiding her emotions, she started losing herself! At start she only suffered from stress but slowly the stress lead to anxiety, she started taking sleeping pills, she also became a hypertensive patient, this is the time we all noticed her behavioral changes and one of my friend who was a doctor advised her to visit a psychologist, at first she refused, but then with our support and love she agreed, she took 5 sessions of psychotherapy, and as I mentioned above she was a successful lady so she defeated her stress and anxiety by understanding this, that nobody is perfect, everyone has insecurities and it’s natural. This thought gave her new hopes and a new vision, and now she is a happy soul inside out.
