Stomach churning
Spirit yearning
To be happy again
Always wanting
This fear is haunting
On my heart it leaves a stain
I've been waiting
Eagerly anticipating
To be free of my pain
Always I pray
To be free of this someday
I have so much to gain

I wish the only thing that haunted you was my singing! (heehee).
Is the anxiety lessened if you keep busy and occupied? But not to have a frenzy of activity either, in 'covering up' the anxiety.
I wish so too! Only non-frightening activities like poetry seem to help. Don't take me to an amusement park!! Thanks Orchi!
Quite honestly, I have stomach churning if I may go to a 'happy clappy' church. I'm afraid, for example, some may start dancing, and I will feel left out and embarrassed for not dancing.
We don't have to dance though. But I like other elements of that type of worship, etc.
Thanks for sharing, Orchi!
The answer can be in writing, you can lose yourself in the realm of words where other problems flow away.
Yes, I agree, thanks so much for your kind words, Andy!
I was moved by your writing and comments.
I’ve battled anxiety for many years and finally have found some relief. Writing is one of several things that helps me. Anxiety can be very crippling. I never believed that my anxiety could become manageable and even completely absent sometimes, but it has.
Thank you for sharing through writing. I wish success in dealing with anxiety in your life. I hope you have peace in your heart and mind.
Kindest Regards
Thanks A.H. Writing is about the one thing that offers relief. I very much appreciate your comments and I wish you the same peace!
