Anxiety For Me

Anxiety For Me...

Anxiety for me is feeling like I can't get air. It is like something dark is sitting on me, putting the pressure on my chest and keeping me from breathing properly. It's something dark that's apart of me, but not me. I can't think and I can't stop thinking. Anxiety for me is walking around the grocery store and it feels like every part of the environment is attacking you. Every light hurts my eyes, every sounds scares me, and everyone feels unsafe and dangerous. Anxiety for me is being on high alert from the moment I step out the front door and first being able to relax hours after I get home again and my brain is yet again convinced it is safe.
