if you’ve never lived with anxiety, you won’t really understand what it’s like to be your own worst enemy.

my mind never shuts off. i overthink, overanalyze, and sometimes i literally make myself mad with my own thoughts. anxiety is feeling watched when no one is even looking. it’s having an attitude about things that haven’t even happened yet. it’s isolating yourself from the world until it feels safe again. it’s always waiting for people to hurt you, feeling like your best is never enough, and questioning every single move you make. i truly hate the way my brain works 😩

Exactly. I hear you and I sure feel for you. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. No wonder you feel rough. So many go through that, including myself at times. If we said we didn't, we'd be lying. I'm thinking, after reading your post, that perhaps my latest post might help you. I hope so. I have found that the most painful wounds, are those we allow/allowed others to inflict on us.
