I myself suffer from severe anxiety which I have developed since a young age and I still have it to this point in time but I know how to control my attacks.

Anxiety has made me stronger.
So when you think there's no way out of the dark hole that seems to consume you until it's all you know, just remind yourself to hold on. There will always be a time when you feel like dying and nothing can save you but that's not true. You might not be able to save yourself but others can.
You are WANTED. You are LOVED. You are NOT A BURDEN. So please, stay ALIVE.
