Anxiety

Anxiety is like a crippling fear that can paralyze you with its deep poisonous tentacles. it grabs on so tightly that it cannot be shaken loose no matter how hard you struggle. Once you become entwined in the negative emotions it becomes impossible to lose the feelings of dread. Unable to function due to severe hesitation, pacing the room wearing out a mental trench in your mind. Nothing gets accomplished and nothing moves either forward or backward. Your stomach is in knots and your mind in a scattered chaos. What does it take to break this cycle of evil? I would almost welcome the return of melancholia except that it remains a staple with the rest of the mixture. What is it that is so terrifying that has triggered this? Fears of aging and being alone, unable to finish my life's work. I have become so susceptible to these triggers that it's difficult not to succumb to them at the slightest thought.
