Living With Anxiety

I live in constant fear, worry, and never ending thoughts

Walking through the halls, fearful of what the next class brings

Panic attacks? Judgement? Embarrassing herself?

I fear the unimaginable 

In the dark I can’t sleep, I worry all through the night

Worried about situations that won’t happen, but I can’t help but think about them

I can’t stop worrying

Throughout the day my mind is constantly racing, I can’t escape it
Did I leave the oven on? My house is probably on fire now.

Did I say the wrong thing? They probably hate me now.

Did I lock the door? I should probably check.

All things that go through my mind.

I need help

But I don’t want to bother anybody

I need to eat

But I don’t want to gain weight

I need to stop thinking

But I live with anxiety.

This piece tells about my daily live as I live through the struggles of anxiety. I got inspired by what I feel on a daily basis, I hope this explains to people what anxiety is really like.
