Living With Anxiety

I beyond hate feeling anxious like this,these feelings are so horrible and real,
Though sometimes it strikes for good reason, this isn't usually the deal.
I'm used to high anxiety each day, as it's been like this for years
But when a bad panic attack sneaks in,you're hit with unexplainable fear.
Panic attacks can happen so fast, and make you feel like you're going to die
All you wanna do is escape, and go somewhere that you can cry.
Sometimes my heart races like crazy, like it's gonna pop out of my chest
And sometimes it feels like it's just gonna stop, like I'm about to take my last breath.
I get this feeling running through my body, but it's so hard to explain
It's almost like an electric feeling, that's shooting all through my veins.
I get shaky all over,dizzy and nauseous,all at the very same time
Not sure if I should go to the emergency room, or if I'm just losing my mind.
Not everyone will relate to this stuff, unless they've dealt with it first hand
So although I know they try to get it, they just won't understand.
Anxiety can make you think you're crazy and broken for how it makes you feel
But I promise you that you're not alone, and with support you'll be able to heal.

Thank you. I did this one not too long ago when my anxiety was insanely high almost daily. I've always loved to write and journal, but never really tried to do poems. Never thought I could.Then one day a bunch just came flooding out on the paper. I write more positive poems as well, but I find this is a great way to work through my emotions on things that are difficult for me. Not a pro by any means, but I'm practicing. Thank you for the read
