Anxiety

I am getting used to feeling like I am constantly on edge Like life is spinning out of control Like I will explode if I get one more piece of bad news Like life is stacked against me Yes, I have faith that I will be ok, that things will work out, that God is with me in this journey that life is still good Some days it feels like I can’t get a deep breath like my heart is fluttering like I am lightheaded and am going to pass out but physically I am fine My heart rate is high but strong and steady my oxygen levels are fine I am healthy and on the outside things are fine But inside is another story my mind is racing all of life’s issues running on a constant loop I feel like a mess People say to just “Deal with it” I am trying my very best I have seen a therapist, I take meds, and check in frequently with others Mental Health is very important If you know someone struggling, don’t judge or tell them to get it together Really listen to them, or just hold their hand

I have a relative who struggles with this and more. But in reality, many of us have this anxiety cloud hanging over us. Sign of the times - 2 Timothy 3:1-5

It is indeed a sign of the times and mostly situational, in my case. It really makes me empathetic towards others dealing with it and more compassionate as well.
