I can't answer questions,
I practice my answer before I say it,
I can't knock on a door,
I can't talk to strangers,
Or even make a phone call,
I am always convinced that people are laughing at me,
I hate being alone,
I can't handle people,
I am scared of joining conversations,
I can't go anywhere alone,
It's suffocating
I am drowning,
I am alone,
Anxiety tells me I can't live my life,
But anxiety is wrong,
Just relax,
Deep breath,
Think,
What's the worst that can really happen,
Now think,
I can knock on that door,
I can answer questions,
I can make friends,
Not everyone laughs about me,
They probably don't even know I am there,
And the ones who do,
I think I don't really care,
I can go places,
I don't have to be alone,
I think I am interesting,
I am not suffocating,
I am breathing,
With my family and friends,
I am never alone,
I may struggle sometimes,
But I can live my life,
I just do it in my own way.

So true those words
I am glad you liked it
Good write. One of my philosophies of life is:
"This is me, if you do not like what you see it is not my problem - it is yours!"

'Anxiety tells me I can't live my life,

Deep breath,

such relatable words of self-assured transparency
championing that quirky, within individuality
an empowering read!
(thanks for inspiring my little reply)..
titled 'Dear Anxiety' for context
'I do me and you do you
if you would like to, feel free
come and greet
stay and play or simply, retreat
either way
I was me, before you
and I will survive
this journey of us: too!'
written from the heart, as is easy to see. am glad to meet someone who shares what I also live with. thank you for sharing, and good luck for all you wish for.
