10 Things I Hate About Anxiety
- Reads 201
- Votes 4
- Parts 13
A story that explores life with anxiety and how other people's misconceptions lead to faltered advances in coping with this mental illness that affects 18.1% of adults in the US (or roughly 40 million people.) This book discusses common threads of thought that trail behind anxiety and the overwhelmingly negative views it presents to those who can't understand or simply choose not to. Anxiety is damaging and persistent thoughts or feelings of failure, excessive apprehension, introversion, wariness, and uncertainty that accumulates overtime until it becomes so crippling that it is deemed irrepressible. It affects functionality, emotions, and behavior. Typically it can get better or worse over time depending on therapeutic techniques being used. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of being strong for too long.

Before he could gather the courage to talk to her, she was gone. Their story never even had a beginning. Years later, fate brought them together again, but not as two strangers in a library. Now, she's a cadet, and he's an officer-strict, distant, and bound by duty. The rules demand discipline, not emotions.

When unspoken words demand to be heard? With only a week left before she leaves again, will they let this unfinished story fade into nothing... or will fate finally give them a chance?

Vital
Featured on @WattpadPoetry's reading list Stygian Skies and @CoffeeCommunity's Cappuccino reading list. A poetry book that trembles with fear, explodes with rage, and loves with everything it has. It tries to make sense of the past and explores trauma head on in an unfiltered way that leaves no room for denial. It's a documentation of my entire life, moments both sun kissed and dark. A book written with the new understanding that expressing how you feel is absolutely vital. Most of my poems come from personal experience and some topics may be sensitive to some readers. Some themes included consist of toxic household environments, the loss of loved ones, abusive relationships, suicidal thoughts and actions, and struggling with mental illness.Complete
