Anxiety can affect us all, it can feel as though one is slowly losing control, excessive worrying, about other's views, or one's future and things done in the past. It can also affect one physically, from not being able to sleep, chest pains, heart pains, sweating, feeling weak, and headaches. There are many different anxiety disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and selective mutism. All of these being very difficult to deal with and live with. Making one feel as though they can't do common day things, like leave the house or socialize. Suffering from anxiety or panic attacks.
Poem:
I can never describe my anxiety. How do you explain something even you don't understand. All I know is it's always been there. It formed its home inside me digging its self deep inside me ready for its stay. It loves to play movies late at night a collection of all my past mistakes. It taking over my life. My friendships, my family. I live my life filled with a ball of fears playing in my mind. A never-ending fight with what's true and what isn't. My anxiety controls me in ways only it will ever know. I don't know how to win against it. Yet I don't know how to lose either.
