I Don't Know

Depression and Anxiety are Swallowing Me

By CatherinePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I don’t know how to handle it when everything feels like its falling down around me

I don’t know what to do when I feel like I'm being suffocated by my own thoughts

When I forget how to breathe and sit there crying out silently for help

When I can't seem to get a handle on reality and I'm left floating aimlessly

When I don’t want to move but I'm cursing myself for doing nothing

When every bone in my body knows I'm failing and I can't seem to do anything right

When I feel so overwhelmed by everything around me and it's weighing me down

And I'm screaming in my head but no sound is coming out

And I wish that I felt better

I wish I understood what caused all of this

But I don’t

I don’t know why my brain is like this

I don’t know why I can't be normal
