I may be in recovery
But that doesn't mean
I can be barraged
With questions
And inquisitions
To help
I am so undeniably
Overwhelmed
Learning that I have
PTSD
Thanks to spending
2 years in bed
Is a kick in the pants
And a set back
Though at the same time
It's not just extreme anxiety
It explains everything
Especially from last summer
The panic attacks
Afraid to be away from my mom
Sleeping with all bedroom doors open
The severe anxiety when getting
Novocain at the dentist
Having severe flashbacks
Of the same feeling
While bedridden
It is easy to see
How one can get easily
Overwhelmed
With something most
Think nothing of
Smells
Experiences
Fear
Of sliding back into
The bed
The exhaustion
That can't be properly explained
I need time to be able to
Control my emotions
I need a place where
Homeopathic treatment
Controls the berserk
Strikes of the nervous system
How does someone who has
A chronic disease
Stop being so totally
Overwhelmed
They take a deep breath
Put on some good music
And as they proceed toward
The treatment
Just keep inching forward
Never looking back
