January 25th: Something's wrong!!!

 

Anxiety


Dear Diary...

How do I even begin to explain what anxiety feels like? On most days, it’s like a silent sea, calm on the surface but with chaos brewing underneath. Inside, it’s all battles and noise. Then there are those other days. The ones where it feels like my body’s alarm system is on overdrive, screaming at full blast for no reason I can see.

My heart starts pounding like it’s running a marathon I didn’t sign up for, and suddenly, I can’t breathe right. It’s like my body forgot how to do something as basic as breathing. My brain, decides this must mean danger, even though there’s nothing wrong. I look around, trying to find the threat, but there’s nothing. Nothing except this overwhelming feeling that something terrible is about to happen.

And yet, my body doesn’t seem to care that I’m actually safe. It’s exhausting, confusing, and terrifying all at once. All I want in those moments is a way out, a clear exit sign, anything to stop feeling this way.

“It’ll pass,” I tell myself. “This too shall pass.” And, thankfully, it always does. Every single time. That’s what keeps me grounded, knowing that no matter how overwhelming anxiety feels, it won’t last forever. Maybe overthinking actually helps in those moments because my brain eventually shifts to a new thought. I mean, at least I can’t fixate on one thing for too long, right?

It passes, and when it does, I remind myself that I’ve made it through before. I can make it through again.


With love,

It’s tough now, but I’ve been through it before, and I’ll get through it again (resilience) 💯.
