Anxiety

All-consuming

Never ending

Life ruining

This anxiety of mine.

Tears fall

Breath fails

Heart races

This anxiety of mine.

Missing out on every moment

Just trying to survive.

Hoping that someday it will end

So I can fully live my life.

I was going to write some sort of advice or inspiration after this, but there is not much to say (especially considering everyone's anxiety is different). So many people struggle with anxiety, and it sucks. Literally 40 million adults (18+) in the United States have some sort of anxiety disorder. Anxiety can make people feel so alone, yet a lot of people are going through it. I have attached some informational pages about anxiety below, including statistics and interesting facts. I highly recommend checking them out. If you have anxiety, seek help whether that be going do a psychologist or just talking to a friend about what you are feeling. Don't let your anxiety consume you because you are worth more than that. You deserve to live a happy life.
