The funny thing about anxiety, true anxiety, is that you can be totally fine one minute and go into complete panic mode the next.
Your breathing speeds up.
Your heart races.
Your vision blurs.
Your brain almost stops working.
You’re not sure why, but your eyes are wet and everything feels impossible.
Then the freeze happens and you can’t make any decisions, can’t remember what you’re even doing and you are so overwhelmed that you just want to go back to bed, or not get up to begin with.
After all that, the guilt of not getting anything done hits. For hours, days, sometimes even weeks later.
You’re able to pull yourself out of it eventually, but the cycle repeats itself regularly.
It’s exhausting.
The people around us, really make or break us in these moments. And I’m happy I have the support I need to make it through.
