A is for Anxiety
A is for Arghhh – because that’s how it makes me feel
A is for Avoidence – my rather rubbish default coping strategy
A is for the Avalanche of stuff that builds when I avoid things, threatening to engulf me and putting a shadow of fear on my waking hours
A is for Alone – because it is so very cruelly isolating
A is for Admitting I have it – which is a journey I’m on
A is for Asking for help – which is very hard to do
A is for Action – because I need to draw a line, stop hiding, start finding better strategies
A is for Advice – because it helps to stand on the shoulders of those who’ve gone before
A is for Anonymous – because I’m not that brave yet
A is for Admiration – because I’m inspired by the journeys of others
A may be for Anxiety but it is not for All – because it does not define me
Respect. You rock. And, this is great. xx
