Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Heavy

I was going to put this in a journal, but I thought maybe others would benefit from the lyrics? I love Linkin Park, and right now, I'm just swimming in the lyrics from their song, Heavy. Nothing quite like anxiety to make you feel so heavy. And letting it go can make you feel lighter.


I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go, but there's comfort in the panic

And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so fucking messy

I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

it's funny how songs can be such distinct markers in one's life. this song puts me in mind of a song which came out the year i turned 13 and was beginning to realize it wasn't normal to be a child prostitute who moved every few months to keep daddy one step ahead of the law.

Awww Arfie, that is awful! But that song is good. Sometimes I feel like songs and music (even music without words) tell the emotions of my soul better than I can.

i'll second that emotion. music carries me to places words cannot reach --unless they are sung, of course. songs also carry time references for me. i'm not much of a chart follower, but when songs come to me often define, or at least provide the soundtrack of the phase i am in.

when people tell me life is not a musical, i offer them ear cleaning products.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
