✨conscious strategies used to reduce unpleasant emotions✨

my anxiety

My anxiety is like, that one friend the your parents want you to keep around because they're " such a good role model"

News flash mum and dad they're the one that pushes you into the pool when you specifically said you didn't want to get wet. But did it anyway because they found it funny.

They're the one that pressures you into going somewhere with them because if you don't then it'll rune their night.

They're that friend that will push your limits till they break over and over and over again.

But hey you're parents like having them around and they seem to be the only one they like.

They don't see how you try to say no.
They don't see how suffocated you are.
They don't see you struggling. Because when you're with your friend like anxiety.

It's all about them.

And never about you.
