A beautiful mind locked in doorless corridors where repetition stabilises and calms. A determined path of adventure into unknown waters, then drowning when reality chokes optimism. A blameless existence, where selective thoughts control, and anxiety sabotages and destroys all things beautiful. Joys pale into distant dreams . . . to the outside world normality prevails, behind the curtain, a nervous tension builds and grips the spirit ******* out its life. Sleep is usurped and any pleasure of tranquility is alluded. An exhausted mind and body writhing in pain and falling into a bottomless pit. No one can help, No loving can change the hopelessness, A behaviour that is repeated over and over in a cycle of torment. Tranquillisers relieve the symptoms, but the episodes continue, The ups and downs, the highs and lows, and the suffering is hard to observe.

Psychotic Anxiety
A beautiful mind locked in doorless corridors where repetition stabilises and calms. A determined path of adventure into unknown waters, then drowning when reality chokes optimism.
