The Monster In My Head

i am attacked everyday.
i am attacked by something called anxiety.
im not fully sure what it is, what it wants with me, but in my mind, it takes the form of a fictional monster that could be found in a children’s fairytale. when it gets angry or upset or grumpy, it attacks me to get out its emotion. it is not a very happy monster. it attacks me a lot. it scares me, it can control me, whenever it wants it can catch me by surprise and cause me to break down instantaniously.
i am attacked everyday by a monster named Anxiety, and i dont know how much longer i can fight the monster back.
