Some of you may know that I have anxiety. I've had it for almost two years now, and it's awful. I've been meaning to talk about it for a long time but I never got around to it. I haven't been diagnosed with it but I've never gone and had help. Everyone I've told has either helped me a lot or thought I was lying. So I mean it's been hard but other people have it so much worse. I thought I'd write a story about it just to kinda explain what it's like.

You had just got home from school, but you still felt like you were in hell. You laid in your bed blasting music as loud as you could stand it. Why, because the silence is horrendous. Soon the thoughts came and you wanted to run. They take over your brain making you think things that aren't true and never happened. You get a text from your best friend, his name was Dan. He helped you through everything and you loved him a lot. You answer him and told him your anxiety was starting to get worse. He said he would rush right over, he always cared.

It was a few weeks later and it was summer. You had traveled away and hadn't seen Dan in ages, even though you texted every day. That night you got in a fight, nothing would ever be the same.

Weeks later and your anxiety had come back full swing. You cried almost every night and had to fake a smile and act like you were okay. Even doing simple tasks was hard because of the what ifs. What ifs are things that make you question what your doing. Sometimes they're good, they keep you from doing stupid things. Sometimes they help your brain make up stupid reasons that you can't do something. They'll make you go into sheer panic mode and never let you come out of your room.

Soon you got back in touch with Dan. Soon things got better but the darkness gets bigger before things get better. So, here comes the anxiety once again. But you can fight it off better now because you had a reason to be okay.

Hey guys! Thank you for understanding that I needed a break from writing! Stories might be a bit shorter and farther between but I'm still try to write as much as I can. I felt like I needed to write this for me. I wanted to write this so that Maurine day I can look back at this and think man, things got better.
