My heart rate increased
My breathes are quicker
Hands are shaking and sweating
My thoughts are jumbled
My mind is going haywire
Filling my brain with thoughts of death and harm
Music is blasting through my headphones
It’s the only thing that can possibly calm me down
This is anxiety
Curling up into a ball in the corner of a room
Overreacting when someone touches you
All because of a fear they’ll hurt you
Anxiety isn’t getting nervous when you see a boy
It isn’t when you aren’t prepared for a test
It isn’t when you’re about to go in some big competition
It’s nothing anyone can fix
Anxiety makes you wish you were dead
Just so you wouldn’t have to feel the pain
The pain of thinking others are going to leave you
My biggest fear
My jumbled mind can only form one coherent thought
Anxiety is hell
