I Have Anxiety

I hate to sound dramatic but it makes living so hard sometimes. Overthinking everything I do to the very core, avoiding things I'll eventually need to confront, having my heart race and my stomach feel like it's sinking simply because I got called on in class unprepared to answer a question. I do my best to manage it accordingly and try to push my way through anxiety-inducing situations-- I really do try, but sometimes it really sinks in, how many less burdens I would have if I just functioned reasonably. It's certainly not an uncommon thing to experience but it's so easy to feel isolated when that's quite literally all you do: isolate to avoid the things you illogically fear.
