You are a harsh master
You are cruel and unkind
You are worse than any disease
You are the plague of my mind
You start off small
Working on our insecurities
Before we even know it
We have become your thrall
You whisper cruelly in our ears
That we are all alone
You feed lies into our heads
You pray off our deepest fears
You make it so we cannot breath
Tears of blood sting our eyes
Soon we turn to a suicidal embrace
We can be saved if only we believe
One you have crept into our hearts
We will forever duel with you
It’s sad I know but we will win
But shall never truly be apart

I don't know how it is for everyone ese but this is how anxiety is for me. From just one small issue like anxiety easily treated I didn't ask for help and now have 3 more issues ontop. So if anyone thinks they suffer Anxiety attacks PLEASE get yourself checked out or it could blow out of control
You were so right mad, anxiety doesn't control you, you are not its thrall, you are in charge.. anxiety is a stupid bitch who I would love to punch in the face... we do have to live with it, but we never have to listen to it, great poem

You missed the point. I'm saying it is all that until you fight back. Anyways ya half right for what i was trying to say and 100% right for what anxiety is. But even when you recover like you have it stays with you whispering into your ear and if you forget you fall again.
The problem with anxiety is that it plays upon your conscious and sub-conscious mind.It likes to dictate and undermine your reasonable thoughts on a daily level.You can find yourself working yourself up in to a frenzy so you tend to like safe places like home.I suffer teribly with it and am constantly worrying about the future.The voices in my head are real although i like to think it as some sort of multi-personality syndrone.I loved your poem and can reflect on my past and present experiences through it.I have been to the doctor and all they do is palm you off with mind numbing pills which only paper's over the cracks.

Exactly and after a while the medd don't work. I suffer from Anciety attacks, Social Agrophobia, Panic attacks (pretty much Anx) and depression. So I know where ya coming from. And yeah I find myself basically thavibg conversations in my head about what's going to go wrong next, living in fear. I am so glad you relate to this but I am so sorry it's because you suffer from it. Thank you so much for reading and commenting I am honored especially since you sent me a fan request so I know ya serious.
Please read my poem on "MANIC DEPRESSION-BI POLAR","AGORAPHOBIA" they might help you to understand my perspective of this disease of the mind.iThanks for your response to my review of this poem.You are welcome for the fanship it's my way of saying that you are not alone with your issues.

Thanks. I am sorry I stirred issues I dont wanna hurt people but many think you just get over these kind of issues but they still lurk.
Yeah the medical people can do little to help with anxiety. Be your own counsellor or let friends and family be your guide-the counsellors I know have little personal experience and so can't help in my opinion. yes the anxiety and the thoughts are always in the back of your mind and come out at times I agree with you.
