Anxiety

What if? What if? What if?

What if everyone is starring at you? What if they all hate you? What if you said too much? What if you didn't say enough?

The waves of worry and doubt never settle. The overwhelming exhaustion of constantly worrying and wondering. Am I good enough? Am I too much? A tornado of thoughts are whirling around in my mind. The shortness of my breath and the weakness of my knees are nothing short of obvious. The staggering stutter of my words pour out of my mouth all in one big slur.

What if? What if? What if?

What if you fucked up? What if they know how badly you want it? What if they know everything?

The hazy look of white fuzz fills my field of vision. The sound of buzzing and ringing fill my head. My hands start to shake. My words seem fake. The monster in my head is awake.

What if?
What if...?
What......

This battle happens everyday. Even the slight off balance of the emotion in the air sets me off. The room is full of people, and I start to break. My eyes ache.

This is the battle of

Anxiety.
