Anxiety And Depression Are A Huge Part Of My Identity And I'm Only In My 20s

A normal, average, reasonable person would think of the easy and simple things — then there's you.
You are also a normal, average, reasonable person. The only difference is that you're programmed to have an overthinking mind.

You worry yourself over things that haven't happened yet or may never even happen or matter.
The toughest part of it is that you are fully aware of it.
You just can't stop the thoughts from flowing in. Like a stream gushing through your system.
The very core of your head is a strange galaxy, making things up on its own. You don't exactly know if today is a good day.
Perhaps, today was a good day, but it could change in a snap.
A chaos creator is in your head, and it most definitely takes a toll on you. The exhaustion it brings is really something.

It's becoming a common thing nowadays, and you ought to know we'll be battling and hustling through it together.
