When I get anxiety my brain feels like it's getting constant little electric shocks. Not in a fun way at all. I'm getting better at catching that mood swing early and calming my brain down, often with reading good narrative fiction and some prescription sleep assistance. It helps me to change the direction of my thoughts and not stew on things I can't do. Having lived with chronic insomnia my whole life, it is wonderful to have gotten help to be able to sleep now, and feel decent enough most of the time.
I used takes with mistakes, since that can be how it feels when a good mood is interrupted by anxiousness for no reason. egh
lyrics
I am o k
This isn't too bad
I think it's working
Or is this Franz?
What if they notice?
What if they don't?
Am I a fraud?
How did this happen?
What was I thinking?
Why did I try?
I am o k
My nerves are electric
They need a reset
I need some sleep
It is what it is
It is what it isn't
Out in the deep
I am o k
