Ash Wednesday! Anxiety: It's kinda a big deal.

Anxiety is something I used to really struggle with, as this year progresses and it gets closer to the holiday season I can see people tensing up, and getting anxious. My anxiety usually happens in social situations, thank goodness it's been over a year since I have had an anxiety attack, but my SADS certainly doesn't help with my anxiety. The ups are ups and the downs are downs so here is a quick tribute to my anxiety, it's just a apart of me but it is not the WHOLE part of me.

Partys Over
Ash Catcher: 
Dear Anxiety,
I'm miserable because of you,
making plans and not following through.

You have me feeling as though I am alone.
I don't feel safe unless I'm at home.

I see a stranger on the street,
want to say hi but too scared to speak.

What are they staring at? 
Something must be wrong...
Is there a stain on my shirt?
Is my nose too long?

I'm shaking, find an exit, I must retreat!
Here they come! Here they come!
Quick, I must flee!

People keep telling me that I am fine
but I am not,
not in my mind.

A lump in my throat makes it so hard to swallow.
Pains in my chest consume me with sorrow.
I lay awake, restless, hoping maybe,
just maybe this will all be gone
tomorrow.
