“You’re so convincing; you lie without flinching”—me to my anxiety!
My anxiety is like this constant companion, always whispering doubts and fears into my ear. And it’s so convincing, so persuasive, that sometimes I can’t help but believe it. It’s like my anxiety has this power over me, this ability to make me doubt myself and question everything I do. It’s like I’m trapped in this never-ending cycle of worry and fear, and no matter how hard I try to break free, it just pulls me back in. I’ve tried to ignore it, to push it away and pretend like it’s not there. But it always finds a way to sneak back in, like a shadow lurking in the corners of my mind.
And the worst part is, it’s so subtle, so insidious, that I don’t even realize it’s happening until it’s too late. It’s like I’m being gaslit by my own brain, tricked into believing things that aren’t true. But I’m starting to see through its lies. I’m starting to recognize the patterns and the tricks it uses to try and control me.
And I’m learning to fight back, to stand up to my anxiety and reclaim control of my life. It’s not easy, and there are days when I feel like I’m losing the battle. But I refuse to let my anxiety define me. I refuse to let it dictate how I live my life.
So I’ll keep fighting, keep pushing forward, one step at a time. Because I know that I’m stronger than my anxiety, stronger than the doubts and fears that try to hold me back. And one day, I’ll look back on this moment and realize that I was never really alone, that I always had the strength and courage to overcome whatever challenges life threw my way. So here’s to standing up to my anxiety, to facing my fears head-on, and to living a life that’s defined by courage and resilience, not by doubt and fear.
Until next time, Adios amigo!
The highest amount of anxiety I feel is when I am going for an interview, and something similar happened when I thought I got my first job. Read it HERE!
