Anxiety is a bastard
Why do you creep on me out of nowhere?
Why are you debilitating me?
What have I done to you?
Why is my own body working against itself?
I was on my way to work and out of nowhere I felt like I couldn't move
What a dangerous feeling to feel especially when you are driving
I had to avoid what was triggering me
And now I feel much calmer
But anxiety will come back again
I should give anxiety a name
Maybe it will help me feel like I can control the situation more better?
Why do I hate this job so much?
It's because the first day on the unit I felt so terribly disconnected towards the people
I'm just connected to everything and everyone when I was there 
This is supposed to be my first professional job and I feel like I'm doing everything wrong
How is it possible to feel like you're doing everything wrong and you didn't truly begin yet?
And that to me, is very an extremely scary to me.
Should I even tell these people I have anxiety?
Would that even change anything?
Dealing with mental illness is definitely extremely difficult.
Especially when you have family who don't view mental illness as a real illness.
They view you as just being "lazy"
How horrible to feel inside when you're dreading to do anything and people are constantly thinking you're just lazy
When in reality, you are mentally suffering!
I don't want to suffer no more!
