Why are you??? Would you rather??? Do you??? You choose… We have to talk later… I don’t like… Can you???
Just SOME of the phrases that give me anxiety
Anxiety
Palms sweaty, words cluster or rather, how do I speak?
Is your mouth dry? *smacks tongue* My mouth is so dry it taste funny
I should ask for a beverage but it feels like I’ll pass out if I stand up
How do I stand up? My legs are numb!
Am I even breathing?
Okay, let’s just shut my eyes and take a deep breath then I’ll feel better
WAIT!!
I can’t be aware of my surroundings if my eyes are closed
They flutter right back open
I look around
Why are all of these people looking at me? Do I look funny? Is my hair okay? I got a new pimple? A booger?
Ugh, I miss our masks. Social distancing, please bring that back
Has my leg been shaking this whole time?
I didn’t even notice I was sweating.. ALOT!
Do I stink? My face is actually really hot
I already know I’m probably red
I feel my heart banging against my chest
Damn!
I JUST got myself better from feeling depressed!
Racing thoughts
Its a boxing fight in my head for the belt
Anxiety vs Depression
I’m getting so dizzy and starting to see spots
Sometimes I wish people knew the truth
The truth is ugly
I was so down and blue I couldn’t even clean my room let alone my house
I couldn’t eat for months, no appetite would last
Even just to shower was such a task
This battle is nonstop
A mental war we all have in a way
Yet at the word mental you all turn away
Or make rude, insensitive comments
“You choose to be that way, get over it,other people have it worse”
Can we just stop this curse?
And start a whole new world
With a whole new verse
One where we accept each other with open arms
Arms that won’t end up suffocating you
Whether it’s with love or with envy
Listen to me, don’t judge.
Respect my wishes, and love me unconditionally with no strings attached
Show me your real you and I’ll show you me
Breathe into me and I’ll breathe into you
And together we’ll live peacefully
