Anxiety is not cute, and it is not fun Anxiety is not something to make light of and to pretend you have for giggles Anxiety is suffering Anxiety is waking up at 3 in the morning because I am so sick to my stomach that it wakes me up for an hour Anxiety is my skin breaking out in hives so severe that I break the skin and bruise and bleed because I am scratching so **** hard Anxiety is when I try to sleep at midnight but am still awake at 5:30 in the morning and I still try to count down to the second exactly how much sleep I will get tonight Anxiety is when I cannot bring myself to eat even though it has been 31 hours since my last meal Anxiety is waking up in the middle of slumber because I thought of what I should have said in an argument four days prior Anxiety is how it is noon and I cannot bring myself to get out of bed and make my day real Anxiety is how I have made myself feel like I am going insane and I feel like my breaths are short and nothing feels right Anxiety is how things do not go the exact way I planned them to and I sit there contemplating crying for the whole day Anxiety is how I feel myself acting like I am crazy and I feel that I am not me and yet I cannot change the way I react Stop trying to make anxiety cute It is not romantic It is not adorable It is not fun Anxiety is what prevents me from living a normal life Anxiety is what drives me out of my mind
