What is it to you ???

I was just wondering what i was to anxiety, how anxiety seez me, what is it about me that draws it to me…Like cookies and milk, i am what anxiety craves, a delicious treat. Anxiety is an addict and i am the drug, " one of the worlds most cherished earth given, man made morsels ", “I am anxieties cookie”.

Saturating the dull muted air with that mmmmm fresh cookie aroma, I’m feeling great with a small group of gooey friends just lying there on that warm buttered baking sheet. Meanwhile on the other side of the planet, awakened by that warm scent, anxiety grins, enriched plus intoxicated now by my good feelings he plots his course then moves swiftly towards my direction. Sensing its arrival as the buttered tray begins to cool my warm gooey smile can only turn to gloom as the feeling of intence nervousness weighs in heavily upon my chest, and what defence could i have as a cookie, an exaggerated nutrition label - haha…the last cookie wether store bought or home baked that you picked up ever so delicately not to create the slightest crumb just to enjoy every last tastebud tingle…Did it ever put up a fight???. As much as i want to resist i can only yeild,to return to what i know most, that prison of silence

I propose that we all affected by it, begin and encourage a help group for “not us” but for " our Anxiety"…I can begin accepting your anxieties applicant form upon your readiness…take care

thanks for the read,

Hahahaha, I am not laughing at you but with you, I am at 15 months of not leaving my house, so I understand anxiety very well. I find laughing to be my salvation, for sure I’d be in a looney bin without laughter. I have had some shocking panic attacks in public and I can only laugh about them now. Hasn’t gotten me out of the house but I don’t feel so bad about it… LOL
There are a lot of us around here…

unlike a cookie you have control over you anxiety it may not always seem that way but you can get control of it I am trying to I am not near having control over my anxiety and a lot of times I feel like I am that cookie being eaten up by anxiety but by taking small steps out and being persistent but not being harsh with my self I have small successes but I still get munched up to so my best advice to combat the cookie monster is small steps and concentrate on your friends not the cookie monster direct your mind back to what your doing I have to do that millions of time like every 2 minutes
