It’s odd to have
a name for my ailment;
I can now officially say
that I suffer from anxiety,
Which can cause
panic attacks(sense of worry and/or fear, high heart rate, shaking, panicked thoughts, dizziness, difficulty breathing)
and
compulsive behavior(acting unwillingly on a yearning for a specific action).
Check and check, all symptoms accurate.
I have
a
n
x
i
e
t
y.

This is the name for my fears,
for my shaky moments,
for my actions, drawing blood.

It’s real now,
and I must learn my enemy
in order to defeat it.
Fear of the unknown will not paralyze me
anymore.
So...I've figured out that I have anxiety, which was causes my panic attacks and also causes compulsive behavior, which is something else that I do suffer from. I'm glad to finally know this, because it means that I can actually do some research and and find out how to live safely with it.
