Anxiety

Anxiety is different for everyone.

For me it is suddenly being overwhelmed by too much noise and needing complete silence.

For me it is an overwhelming fear of dying.

For me it is a constant tightness in my chest and having to control my breathing all the time.

For me it is recurring nightmares.

For me it is constant self doubt and low self-esteem.

For me it is lip biting, teeth grinding and fist clenching.

For me it is irritability and irrational thoughts.

For me it is wanting to talk, but not for fear of saying the wrong thing, or being judged.

For me it is lack of sleep and random crying for no reason.

For me it is wanting to be included, but also not wanting to leave the house or socialise.

For me it is constantly never feeling good enough.

But for me, it is a battle I WILL overcome.

My anxiety does not define me.
