Anxiety is.....
Torture: extreme, intense, debilitating.
Overwhelming dread and panic, you're drowning, there's nothing you can do.
You're helpless, utterly helpless, paralysed.
There is no way out, you know it will last forever, there is no relief.
The world around you disappears, you're a prisoner, trapped within your own thoughts. No one can help you.
Fear. It fills the mind, it fills the day, there is no escape, no where you can go, no refuge.
Day after day it continues, year after year, forever? Diazepam: did it take the edge off? You're not sure, how can you endure?
A parasite. Anxiety propagates itself, it needs no help. Panic fuels panic, you'll never be the same - when will it happen again? What if, what if, what if.........
This is anxiety.
