I feel worthless, useless.
A pest, a weight, ruining everything.
I feel broken, shattered, like glass.
I have no hope, no light.
Feeling like running away.
From everything that curses me.
I don't feel like living with this anymore.
I feel like falling, endlessly, into the ocean.
Under the waves, choking, drowning.
Where I try to lift my hands up.
My body is heavy, my mind is scrambled.
I don't think normally anymore.
The words don't have a proper sentence.
I listen to their poison lies, over and over.
I can't do much else, it's the only thing in my head.
I've wished and worked hard.
To no avail have my efforts been.
So I suffer night after night.
Day after day, time after time.
I will continue to suffer, I fear, always.
Forever. I don't think I'll ever get better.
I feel like surrendering. I feel like choking.
I don't feel like I'm alive anymore.
I feel like I'm dead inside.
The emotions I once had, that were strong.
I still feel them, but this stress gets in the way.
No matter what I do it haunts me, follows me.
Even in times of much happiness.
I can't be too happy, or it'll hurt me.
It keeps me down, keeps me sad.
And all I ever wanted to be was happy.
I don't know what category to put this in...
Oh well.

For those of you who don't know what Anxiety Disorder is:
[link]

Basically, for those who are all TL;DR
It's where your fears take control of your life, you get Panic Attacks from certain things, and can even prevent you from doing things all the way to never going outside your house.
You even get agoraphobia (fear of people) and refuse to make contact with certain people. It's very disabling to some people who have it really bad.

This is beautiful. Thank you for writing something that most of us (including myself) can understand & relate to.
