How I Feel Right Now

I struggle a lot in my life.

Raising my hand in class takes months and asking a question takes even longer. I feel horrible because I can tell that my teachers just want me to speak up and the ones that I'm close to don't seem to like how open I am with them.

A girl wants to be with me, but my anxiety keeps me from saying yes when I really want to.

I'm afraid to open with my mom. Whenever I open up, she calls me dramatic or a liar. I get anxious around her and it makes me agitated and I tend to snap.

I don't like talking to others about my feelings because I'm afraid of becoming a burden.

Anxiety rules my life. It keeps me from using a driveway to turn around or order food in a restaurant or tell someone they did something wrong.
