So when I was 14 and my friends started coming to me with their problems, I found it strange that they were so willing to tell me these things. Of course I helped them. I am here for anyone.
But I never understood for the longest time how to express these feeling or emotions. And I still don't. I have no idea of how to relieve anxiety or how to express sadness or angry properly.
That's why when I feel anxiety, I am so terrified because I have no where to turn. I still think that these feelings should be expressed but I just don't know how to do it.
And I can't say it to anyone. Because then they panic which makes me feel worse. Or they start treating me like a child thinking that it's like a tantrum more than a panic attack.
And I haven't had any therapy for this in two years. They deferred me to someone else, who keeps cancelling my appointments.
It just feels like a dead end. I'm trapped in this circle of anxiety and there's no way out. I really want to remain optimistic about it but it's getting harder and harder to look at the bright side.
