Anxiety: The Truth

Having anxiety is like drowning at all times, your head just below the churning, dark waters with no way of pushing your way up to the surface. The slightest change in anything can set you off, like an antelope leaping away to safety, away from the cheetah bounding after him. And your heart races, and you can't breathe, and there's tears and the ever-present fear of rejection, of failure, of anything really, that holds you back is something you never get used to. Anxiety can hinder you from meeting new people and tasking risks that could ultimately help you in life. It plain sucks to have to deal with every single day, but we're strong and we can kick anxiety's butt. Yeah, that's right. We can get through it together. Love anybody struggling right now. If I could, I would reach out and embrace you, but for now all I can say is virtual hugs for all!
