ANXIETY - You Don't Ever Need To Suffer Alone, Get Help. Go To Therapy. Take it from Me, personally. It Works. This Poem is dedicated to my Therapist, Lauren Woods. Thank you for helping me find the light at the end of the dark tunnel that is my trauma.

Breathe easy. This feeling you are experiencing seems like it will stay with you forever, but give it time. I promise it will pass. Nothing can stop you, not even the panic attacks. You are strong, resilient. You will, eventually, regain composure and control. 

I know how it feels, to have this dreaded invisible storm cloud eating your mind and emotions alive. You just need to seek help, find your own personal outlet to expel it from your being in order to truly thrive. Take each step of recovery slowly.

Here's a motto for you to live by: 'One day at a time.'

Those who don't suffer this curse, will never understand. Sometimes all you need in that moment, is a trusted person, your Safe space, to hold you tight and say nothing at all. To just be there, a shoulder to lean on. A supporting hand to hold.

Allow yourself to Feel. Let everything Out. Do what works best for you to release the pressure that's holding on to you - weather that be to cry, scream, sing, draw, colour, paint, write or shout.

It takes the Strongest people to get back up on to their feet after they've fallen down this rabbit hole that is suffocating
distress. Take all the time that you need in order to breathe easy again, ground yourself and readjust your crown.

A crippling illness, that has no cure in sight. Can get better, when the right treatment for You is found. For every little, minor thing that you have accomplished today and every day so far, Honey, you should be SO proud.

You have no idea, how much power you hold. Stand up tall, hold your head up high. No amount of negativity can ever get you to fold  x.
