Poem Title:
Poem
1. Remember to take all of your prescribed medication. Don't ever skip a day because you never know when you might snap. 2. Cancel all your plans. Anxiety is a jealous lover. She is best friends with depression and will introduce him to you. Your old friends will no longer be important to you. 3. Cry. Like all the time. Anxiety will fill your thoughts with things to worry about while depression will remind you why you need to worry about them. Depression will tell you it's okay to cry because everyone is sad. 4. Stay inside. Anxiety will remind you what things could happen if you go outside. The sky could be falling. Maybe you'll get sunburnt. Or worse you might run into someone you. They might ask how you're doing and your lungs will close up. Depression will wrap his arms around you and lead you back inside. 5. Cry. Some more. Cry because you haven't had any human interaction in the past 3 weeks. 6. If you have to leave your house make it quick. Go alone. Seeing someone could silence Anxiety and she will no longer have power over you. This is not always a good thing though. Sometimes she will turn to Revenge to help her if Depression can't. 7. Panic. Anxiety can help with this step. She will whisper in your ears filling them with all your fears until you can't breath. You will be lying on the floor gasping for air. But don't worry this will soon pass. Don't yell at Anxiety too much. Depression may get mad and just make things worse. 8. Spend all day in bed. Convince yourself you can't move. Let your bones ache so bad that you can't even move. Depression will lay down beside you and cover you like a blanket. Anxiety will lie telling you why this is a good thing. 9. Soon nothing will matter anymore. Anxiety will be proud as she celebrates with Depression but you will not be able to share in their joy. 10. Remember to take all of your prescribed medication. You never know when the nightmare of steps 1-9 may happen. Brittany Larson 10/22/2015
