Living with Anxiety:how to cope, heal and thrive

As a human being we all have something that’s bothering us in way or the other, it could be financial issue, Relationship issues, could be health issues or something different entirely, I have lots of issues over the time but somehow and someway after thinking about it for a while the solution comes maybe through prayers or advices.
For sometime now, I have been dealing leg pains since I had an accident some time back, I’m thankful for being alive, I can walk with my legs but although I could still say that the accident took alot from me too.
I graduated from school some years back and up till now I haven’t been able to go for service, all the people that I graduate with from school that I know of have all gone to serve and back and even the people that I graduated before them, some have gone and came back, sometimes I just sit and think about my life and get upset.

I can’t wear the kind of clothes I want to wear because of this very big scar on my leg, people always get to ask me questions that sometimes I choose not to answer and then it looks like disrespect, I really can’t walk for a long time and also can’t really stand for a long time, and I can’t sit somewhere thats a bit tight, especially in public transports, I feel this discomfort most of the time, plus recently I started having this muscle cramp almost every morning and its so painful, I have to take up the leg for a while and then again I always have pain relief drugs at my disposal because the pains come when I don’t even expect it sometimes.

For the past how many months now its been from pains to pains, Sometime back I even went for an X-ray session just to be sure if there was anything wrong with my bones within but the results came and my bones were in perfect conditions so somtimes I really wonder why after suffering a very severe injury, I still have to go through this pains even after spending alot of money on the leg, I have taken so many drugs both of English and herbal drugs but yet the pains is still here.

At a point after I had the accident I really taught that I wouldn’t be able to use my leg again, I couldn’t even look at the leg for a while untill I started getting used to the fact change is constant and in life anything can happen, I just have to get used to the fact that having such a big scar on my leg is my reality and just be grateful to God that I was able to make it alive, at least I can walk without the support of anyone.

What I do now to tackle the issue is that first of all I really don’t over think about it again, because that alone is enough to kill my mental health, secondly I don’t over work my legs, I rest when I feel the need to, I don’t go long distances and I take my pain relief drugs once in a while just to avoid taking it excessively, then I try as much as possible to always use hot water on the leg and finally I might go visit the doctor very soon.
