I'm on this ride called Anxiety....

[PacificCoastHWY]

and it's been one helluva ride. I mean there are days where it just gets the best of me. There are numerous times that I've decided not to do something, something important, because of this thing. Sometimes it is difficult to get out of bed because I am overwhelmed by this restless feeling. I've been called weak, shy, timid, and weird, but I call it me. Nothing in my life has shaped me more and framed my experiences with a tinge of melancholy than my anxiety. In a strange way, I wouldn't have it any other way because it's made me into a deeply introspective and insightful individual, but many times I become a victim of my ideas or obsessions. I hope to meet good people on this forum that I can share advice with and hopefully overcome this human condition one day at a time.

Take it slow because I know it ain't easy.
