My Anxious Life

Thoughts. Thoughts have been swimming around my mind like a whirlpool. My whirlpool is alive swirling, keeping me from peaceful sleep. One of my Anxiety’s favorite activities is to keep me awake in the dark, watching the hours of the night tick by.

Sometimes Anxiety is that stupid comment I let travel from my mind, slipping out of my mouth, always replaying in my head, caught in the whirlpool. Anxiety is a warm electric energy humming under my skin.

For me as annoying as my anxiety can be, it’s not always tethered to negativity. Recently anxiety has been figuring out how my new wheelchair Ruby Swift fits within my existing life. My anxiety often whirls through me as whiskey warms my blood. surrounded by people I love; staying up as night turns into early morning. As the colorful stack of Uno cards grows in the center of the table.
