anx·i·e·ty noun a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. "he felt a surge of anxiety" Anxiety, isn't what it's like in the books. See, only people with anxiety would understand. The constant attacks. Worrying. Then added on top of that the fact that I'm diagnosed with this horrible disease. You could compare anxiety, to being kidnapped, put into a small, confined space, while the walls are caving in. But, behind the wall, there are small spikes, waiting to emerge from small holes. But once the spikes start to emerge, your already gone, into the dark abyss that is unconsciousness. But why do I bother. See, only people with anxiety would understand.
