I feel claustrophobic

About life, what i need to be & need to do. What my life should be like, the day in day out motion. Every hour of my day is constantly suppressing feeling of anxiety that pops up.

I try to keep it under wraps, to not worry my friends and family. To not wallow on it too much, not to be overwhelmed by it.

I'm usually the person people go to for advice, for help, for guidance, or just reassurance. Its kinda hard to open up to them. Although, it would be lie to say its all about them. I do think i don't want to acknowledge it cause it would make my false sense of stability and normalcy collapse.

My heart feels heavy, as "cringe" or melodramatic that sounds, feels like a hand is gripping to it.

I want to be content, not even super happy. I want to be cozy and semi-free.

Don't want to be too nihilistic but the world seems pretty bleak, but i try not to over think too much.


How do you deal with feeling of anxiety? Or just how do you keep going, besides just trying to drown out the emotions with never ending stream of entertainment.


Sorry for the long read, thanks for any reply :)

indeed the world is a very grim place now, it takes another type of strength to deal with it, you're not alone.
