My words and thoughts have dried up
The stresses of life have invaded my body
I shake with anxiety
I shake with nerves
Outwardly I look fine
Even though my face is pinched
My demeanor is tense
My eyes wide
My legs are slow to flee
My stomach cramps as I think of what's to come
I'm visibly shaking
I feel sick and disheartened
Despite arms enfolding me
The love others surround me
I can't seem to control
This vicious attack
My motto has always been
Don't let the buggers beat you
Softly softly
Work through it
I've done it before
And I'll do it again!

It's understandable B.
Maybe think of who those b******s are who are trying to grind you down, as the saying goes. Is the fear of doing something, meeting someone, etc worse than actually doing the thing or meeting in-person?
Most people are more concerned, even if over-concerned, about themselves. Or just going on with their daily lives, I find.
Pep talk over! lol.
A separate comment, so as not to pinch your 'reply box' to Teddy!
Teddy knows all she gotta be panicky over is my singing! lol. You too, I hope.
imbued with a wonderful message, write's like yours
are why 'poetically humanist' site's like MPS
can be utilised to impact and help peoples, everyday lives
in a genuinely meaningful way..
thanks for choosing to share
Anxiety is difficult to deal with . I’m sorry you feel this way .
Have never suffered from panic attacks but you have given me a powerful insight into them...good luck
Yes you will do it BusyB, moving into a new part of your life is a wonderful adventure that will bring so much happiness for you.
