Anxiety is defined as a feeling of worry, unease, or nervousness; typically about an event with an uncertain outcome
Anxiety is that feeling in your chest
A solid grip constricting your heart
The air being sucked out of your lungs while you gape like a fish
Anxiety is the inability to sleep
Counting down the sheep like seconds in the day
Thinking if I sleep now I'll get X amount of sleep tonight
Anxiety is stuffing in both ear buds and lowering your eyes to the ground
Hoping that no one will see you as open enough to talk to
Hoping that no one is watching and judging you
Anxiety is tears filling your eyes when an authority figure says your name
Shoulders shrink together and curl forward before turning around to face whatever it is that they have to say
Anxiety is leaning against the wall
Not in the middle
Not in a corner
But about three quarters of the way along the wall so you can be assured no one is looking at you
Anxiety is linked with and often a cause of depression
It takes your will to do things and immobilizes you from panic and stress
