Anxiety

Anxieties of life have been weighing on me Everyday for awhile I felt like my chest was tightening up and I couldn’t breathe My stomach would feel so pukey and puny I would feel like crawling in a hole and disappear Anxiety is a constant battle for me So much so I had to seek therapy Even start taking medication Anxiety still bothers me I hope for one day not to feel this way

I'm so sorry that you are suffering this way. There is a trick that sometimes works: pretend that it's rage and punch a few things. Pick ones that won't hit back or hurt your hand !! Elizabeth

We can move hand in hand over this. I too suffer from mild depression. I'm not suicidal but death would be a relief.
