Dear Anxiety,

You've started to become a burden in my life starting in middle school, at first a problem, until I learned to use you for good--such as expressing my happiness--and the arrangement stayed until April of 2017.

You invaded my life again, this time stronger than ever, causing me pains that I have never experienced before. Chest pains in which I thought I was going to die for three weeks, even with a doctor's constant reassurance that it was YOU causing the pain. I didn't believe it until an EBG came up saying that I was okay.

I got put on medication, and it has been beneficial during the calm times. During these times you get settled in your place, but when it comes to present or to do something I have never done before...

BAM!!! You come full force on me, making me overthink everything I do, causing me to doubt myself.

Doubt

You have caused me so much of it that I can make a mountain higher than Mt. Everest. You put me in so many situations that I have broken down because of the doubt you placed on me.

Breaking Down

You have caused me to break down multiple times, not just crying, you give me throat pains, chest pains and not being able to breathe.You have ruined me.

However, April 26th is the last day you will ever ruin.

You will not ruin me anymore!

I am a young kind woman.

I may be looking at a bad semester, but I can get myself back together

I have friends that will tell you to back off.

I have family that will do the same.

Dear Anxiety,

This is no more!
