I have anxiety. No thought transverses my mind without causing turmoil. Sometimes I put my feelings into a chest and throw it in to the ocean. Everyday I dip my toe in the water, pondering. Can I ever retrieve what I have hidden, without the consequences? Ultimately, I know I can't. So I watch the waves crash. Remedies only suppress what is out of my control. Ebb and flow go hand and hand, as do I and my chest.

Relationships kind of **** if you have anxiety and insecurities that people can't accept.
