Anxiety..

quaintrelle7 November 3rd, 2023

Anxiety isn't crying all the time alone in your room. it's being alone silently wishing you had more tears to cry. wondering why me? why am i so broken? why does no one see i'm suffering?its drowning in myself. its getting lost in all my cracks and flaws as i look in the mirror. it's the overwhelming fear when there isnt a thing to fear. it's being nervous and feeling your heart speed up as you enter a room. it's feeling pressure in your chest as you walk out the door. it's the fear you get on sunday nights knowing when you wake up they'll be school. it's knowing no matter how many times you try to explain it, no one really gets it. it's feeling so alone you shut your self off from everyone. it's wanting to scream but not being able to even whisper a word. it's being up all night being afraid of tomorrow and all the unknown. it's being so broken you become numb.its making yourself physically sick. it's panic attacks in public that you can't control. it's feeling nauseous just thinking about it. it's not being hungry. it's being exhausted all the time. it's shaking but not being cold. it's all of the above and so much more. it's part of me. it's consuming me...

@quaintrelle7 Thank you for posting such an honest account of your day to day struggles with anxiety.  It broke my heart to read your words, but, your ability to speak them leads me to believe that you have great strength and the guts to face life head on. Keep writing! Let the feelings flow. It's okay that life sucks sometimes. I have a young son who suffers from anxiety and panic disorder. It was so helpful for me to hear how this terrible condition feels. I have incredible empathy for you and great hope. Someone with your courage can surely help themselves and others too. I am grateful for your words today and I pray for your continued healing.
