Anxiety.

Hi everyone so today is a different type of post for you all, hope you don't mind. I have seen a few bloggers mention they suffer from anxiety and I have seen a few posts about it too so when I asked on twitter if people would want to see this a huge amount of you said yes.

My anxiety started last September when I had been off school ill for a very long time and it was time for me to go back and I realized I couldn't. The thought of having to go in a class with everybody scared me. I started having panic attacks and couldn't go. Throughout the time I was ill etc I didn't see anybody and I stayed in my house as I was too scared too leave.

That October somebody was hammering on my front door all through the night and that really started off my anxiety and panic attacks again. The night after that I started with a serious panic attack at 7pm. I was getting palpitations, legs were numb, couldn't breath, shaking and chest pain. My mum was trying everything to calm me down but nothing was working. By the time it got to 11pm my mum rang the out of hours doctors for me to go up there to be checked over. I finally stopped with the panic attack as I was leaving the hospital at around midnight. The out of hours doctor was useless and just said to me I had to wait until the morning baring in mind I couldn't breath.

The next morning I went to the doctors and they were just as useless and told me they couldn't do anything as I hadn't been suffering for long.

This February it all started up again, the school nurse who I worked with as I was still not going to lessons offered to do some breathing techniques with me but she never. In the months where I had no bother with it I managed to get myself a job which I am still at now. 

When I was working it did effect me a little as I have to communicate with a lot of people which I find hard sometimes.

In April I had my college interview which again set of a panic attack as I knew I was going to have to be around lots of people for it. Turned out it was fine though.

Recently I was trained on the till at work. I was good at first as I wasn't having to serve lots of people at once but over the last few weeks I have been left alone to deal with a que of 6 people. That's not a lot normally but where I work they all want food and drinks which I also had to do as well as the till. 

This again caused my anxiety to flare up and I have been suffering really bad this last week to the point I have been having panic attacks before I go. I told my boss my problem and she gave the rest of week of. I am still yet to hear back of when I am going.

I have been considering leaving my job now and going into something I enjoy and that is a lot less busy.

I am starting college this September and I am so scared and I know my anxiety will start up again but I hope it won't be too bad.

If any of you suffer with anxiety feel free to drop me an email if you would like to talk to me. You can use the contact form on the side.

Hello my name is Hayley, and I'm a 16 year old blogger from Scotland. I started my blog, Water Painted Dreams, about a year and a half ago and fell in love with blogging. I would say my blog is a mixture between a beauty blog and a lifestyle blog with a bit of fashion thrown in as well.

Palmers Dark Chocolate and Peppermint Lip Butter- Review

Hello everyone so today I have a review on the Palmer Dark Chocolate and Peppermint Lip Butter. I seen loads of people rave about this for ages so I had to pick it up and I have to say I love it. You can get this from boots and superdrug and it costs £2.25. It is a clear lip butter so you can add colour after applying it. It tastes soooo good. It smells and tastes of After Eight chocolate! So good I could just eat it. It lasts really well on my lips leaving them feeling mega soft for hours afterwards.

Have you tried this lip butter?

Benefit They're Real Mascara- Review.

Hi everyone so today I have a review on the Benefit They're Real Mascara. I got this in Elle magazine a few months ago. I had wanted to try this for the longest time ever but wasn't prepared to pay the full price of £19.50. You  can get this from boots, benefit contours and online here.

I love this mascara! I already have really long eyelashes but this mascara makes them even longer. As you can see the picture on the left is me wearing no mascara and on the right I am wearing this mascara. It gives a great amount of length and volume to my lashes making them even more longer than they normally are, that being a problem when I wear glasses although I am getting contact lenses soon so the length of my lashes won't matter. I am so tempted to buy this full price when I run out or ask for it for my birthday next month.

Have you tried this mascara? Do you like it?

Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Stick- Bad Girl Bronze Review

Hi everyone so today I have a review on the Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in the shade Bad Girl Bronze. You can get this from boots and superdrug and online here. These cost £4.49. On the package it says it is waterproof but I can't say whether or not it is as I haven't put it through that test yet.

I adore this shade. If you have read my blog for a while now you would know I love these types of colours. I wear this on a day where I don't have enough time to do a smokey eye. This is a really creamy formula. It is easy to apply as you just draw it over your lid and then it is on. I really want the cream colour of this. I also really want to try the eyeliners of these too. I love the easy application products so this is a love of mine.

Have you tried these before? What's your favorite easy application product?
