Fraught with doubt
Running into walls created by myself
Entering doors, that shouldn’t be
Never taking words as fact
Zaniness wins over reason
Into the void I go
Entering doubtfulness
Dying alone, I truly fear

Note:

I wrote this poem about my diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I got that diagnosis in the ER. I was there because I thought I was having a heart attack and my blood pressure was really high.

Turns out I was anxious; like really anxious. So anxious I thought I was dying.

There was nothing wrong with my heart…at all…it was my anxiety lying to me.

So I decided to start writing about my struggles again. I figured it’s a better outlet than just sitting in the dark. :)
