Some days my anxiety feels suffocating, like I’m trying to catch my breath all day but for some reason there’s a weight on my chest. I lay motionless in my dark room and plead with my mind to stop thinking. All I want in that moment is to be numb but I can feel myself suffocating. 

Some days my anxiety feels hollow, echoing around in my head and never settling. I walk in a daze, not talking, checking to make sure I’m breathing occasionally. I want to think of something, anything, but every thought goes as fast as it comes and I’m left with nothing but hollow thoughts.
