anxiety is no joke. mental illness is no joke. not a joke when you feel like crying and throwing up and screaming and laughing and yelling every time something feels off. distancing yourself from people and lashing out at them without ever apologizing. losing people over your mental health because you can’t help but ghosting people and screaming. not being able to eat or do anything but just stay in your bed all day and cry and worry. wonder constantly why you aren’t good enough. over analyze every single word you hear. unable to go near places you once loved or wear certain clothes because of the memories attached to them. waking up with anxiety for no reason. getting anxiety out of nowhere. hyperventilating to the point you are physically sick. your family worrying if they did something wrong. not being able to tell anybody about your thoughts because they are too much even for you to understand. most importantly, the constant escapism and trying to find a good distraction whether it be a person or routine.
