DEAR ANXIETY

Anxiety feels like an invisible weight pressing on my chest whispering doubt and fear at every turn but despite it's grip I'm still standing, fighting for peace...

Dear anxiety, you're always near 

Whispering doubts feeding my fear 

My chest feels tight,my breath is thin

I'm fighting battles deep within

In crowds ,I freeze I want to hide 

My voice get stuck ,lost deep inside

The eyes ,the stare ,they weigh on me 

Social anxiety won't let me be 

I try to breath to quiet my mind 

But you return,so hard to find

The peace I need the strength to cope 

Yet still I fight, holding onto hope 

Each Day's battle every step's tough

But I'm still here, I'm strong enough

I won't give in though you press tight

Dear anxiety I'm ready to fight

I'm learning slow but still I rise 

Despite your hold , despite the lies 

You tell me I'm not good enough

But I'll keep going though it's rough

With every breath,I take my space

Dear anxiety, you won't define the strength

That grows , this heart of mine 

I'll still fight step by step

With every fall I'll rise and rep 

Though you're loud you won't stay long 

DEAR ANXIETY I'll prove you wrong!!!!!!!

Anxiety can feel like the most scheming terrorist, hiding its true identity behind a mask of fear. It’s an opponent that many empathetic people face, but with every challenge, we grow stronger. Yes, it hits us and we may fall, but we will not stay down. Hopelessness is its main weapon, and we can refuse to let it win.

I love how resilient you are, continually fighting to rise again. Don’t let anxiety achieve its goal by keeping you down. When it strikes, remember to breathe deeply: inhale, hold it, and let it all out. Repeat this as often as you need.

You are worth so much more than you realize, and everything will be alright. Even when times get tough, remember that you are in control of your mind. You make the decisions, and you will get through this one day at a time.

A bleak but empowering poem, I found. It sounds good, to keep striving in your fight against the demon of anxiety. Indeed, it can be a bitter foe; and sometimes drag people down.

With an approach like your one, I suspect that you will normally manage to overcome anxious feelings; in your daily life.

I went through this...for several months straight...all of these feelings.
The anxiety had me pinned down....couldn't escape it.
Once I came out of that state, it was like being a freed prisoner.
It is funny in an odd way how it can restrain us when we feel it.
