I don’t know what anxiety is. Yes! I do know…maybe not. I think so…but maybe I’m just hallucinating.

about social situations, school, failing…worries about your looks…why doesn’t this happen to everyone? it’s all consuming. why can’t i be normal…why am I afraid of everything? i hate anxiety…

My throat tightens. My heart beats in my chest so hard I can see my arms twitch with the pressure. My head swims in an abyss of thought as I struggle to swim to the surface, failure threatening to overtake me.

It’s the feeling you get when you don’t know what’s next for you. It’s like your stomach is dropping into itself and you’re worrying about something that you don’t necessarily even have control over the outcome. Your palms are sweating and your heart is racing. It’s like trying to finish this box in the sixty seconds and you want to get your whole thought out but not sure if you have enough time. It’s that sort of feeling.

i have anxiety about having anxiety… yesterday i had a ton of anxiety when i thought i erased all our pictures and all my wifes digital scrapbooking stuff from the computer what a bad day .. but i found it all!

Butterflies in the stomach? Never. More like a flock of panicked birds, screaming and flocking around, scratching up my tender insides until I feel as if I’m about to vomit. Everything slides off my brain that I try to hold and I am just completely consumed by fear. Anxiety seems like too light of a word most of the time.

I’ve constantly felt, for the last year, that something has been horribly wrong. Paralyzed with a fear of everything around and about me, I have lived life looking over my shoulders and forgetting to just do and be. When I look back on it, I can hardly remember this year at all.

Anxiety. I never think about it. Never notice it.
But it’s always there.
The way my hands shake when I help you with trig.
The way I fidget in class.
the faces I make when you’re not looking.
The ink lines on my hand and the sensation that lingers from pressing that ball point into my flesh.
I am anxious.
I never know what you’ll do next.
I never know what I’ll do next.
This is our last year.
I’m anxious for the ending.
This could be my last day. Are you anxious for my ending?
Kristine
because of all the anxiety there was no way we could have made it to the top,so our next option was look for a spot
suhail
My chest is heavy, my heart goes a million miles an hour. I don’t know why just being around someone new does this to me. Yet that’s the situation I find myself in… total anxiety. I reach out my hand and introduce myself to the reflection in the mirror.
MrsDHansen
I feel so much anxiety when I audition. I don’t know why I do it but I do. It’s like torture. Feeling completely helpless and having your life rest in the hands of another person is awful. I should stop. But I can’t.

Anxiety…
I wake up to you every morning.
You sit in my mind all day long.
You never leave me a side.
I know you’ll never leave there.

all i have is anxiety. all i can think about is the future and what will come of it. i panic and lose my breath. my heart races and i have to sit down. will he be home soon? or will i have to spend months alone wondering if he really loves me and will change?
ktizgangster
I seem to have it all the time.
Today sat on a but for three hours with a clenched jaw for no conscious reason.
I get scared a lot.
Other than that I’ve always like that word, nice spelling, lovely pronunciation, and I love the letters a and y.

it the sentiment I get when I did something wrong and islooming over me

My anxiety level goes up when I click on Go! I think I’m afraid my mind would go blank. It won’t, though that might be the best thing that could happen to me.
Karen
Half an hour ago, this was put up. I have five hours and twelve minutes to get my work done. In five hours and twelve minutes, I have to go to my job. Labor Day’s never been so laborious. Three hours in toxic sawdust can really take it’s toll. I just hope I make it through the night alive.
r.a.
i can’t do this today–i’m far to anxiety ridden.
quin browne
i hate this feeling. this feeling of… an anchor tied to my chest. or maybe it feels like lead. weighing on my body, paralyzing me. sure, my mind races like forty starting horses, but my body can’t do a hting. all i can do is think and think and think and not do do.

oh, the state of anxiety. a spot full of excitment, imaginary crisis and tradey occur there. moutains are made of mole hills awfullizing is a past time.
jenny
for some reason, i have this massive anxiety. not only about school but just being a failure. i don’t want to drop out, i want to learn, i want to make it out of this city & be someone somewhere new.
but i fear indifference is my enemy. & i’ll never make it out & i’m doomed to be trapped in this cycle.

I knew it wasn’t my fault, but I beat myself up about it everyday. From the moment I woke up to the moment I finally drifted off to sleep, I worried about the fact that my little girl won’t speak. Her anxiety caused her to be silent and I wondered if the world would ever get to hear her voice.
Moonposse
I am so scared that I will sit and do nothing for the rest of my life, looking backwards and forwards. I will look at others lives and approve but never for my own life. Have I made a good choice?

Her anxiety rose as she saw the uniformed man walk up to the door. It was pressing in so close the walls seemed to be moving in on her. “W-what do you people want?!”, she stuttered in disbelief. “The US Military regrets to inform you that your son was lost in combat 3 days ago.” At the utterance of that last word her anxiety broke down the dam she had built and washed around her, drowning her in sorrow.
Anxiety sucks. It plagues my life. Every where I go is a constant dark abyss of worry. Things that should be simple are so hard because I’m simply afraid of doing it. Totally not okay. Totally and utterly imprisoning and trapping. I hate it. I need to get rid of it. Now. ASAP.
suzie
I don’t know what anxiety means, but it sounds kind of like anxious. When I am anxious I am worried. i should look it up in the dictionary.
Kenna
Sometimes anxiety gets the better of me – nervous sweats and palpitations – I hate that stomach churning feeling. All you can do is deep breathe – and trust that you can get through it – whatever it is! Trust in yourself, believe in you, and everyone else will too – hopefully!
Ian S
Decisions weigh heavily on my mind this morning. Something awful sits upon my chest, numbs my senses, and perverts the hope that was.
Tamasin
Oh boy, do I know that word! He doesn’t call; I panic. He doesn’t stop by; I am awake all night. It’s boyfriend anxiety, a difficult disorder to cure.

ANXIETY? my middle name. Deal with a few hundred animals on fire and tell me if you know anxiety better than I do. Yes, that was a challenge.

Rock back and forth with anxiety; Don’t worry, Sunshine, it might never happen.

Someone once told me that they thought anxiety was simply a surplus of adrenaline. I said they were ridiculous, and it couldn’t be JUST adrenaline, but it had to be driected towards something negative, somethingt they were afraid of. For instance, the bar at the top of the screen here shwing my time running out is making me quite anxious… like if I don’t finish in time something AWFUL will
