93. Living with OCD and Severe Anxiety

93. Living with OCD and Severe Anxiety

A Chapter by Haley Lynn Thomas
"

The title says it all.

"

Do you know what it's like

Or how it feels

To live your entire life on the edge

 

When even the simplest things

Turn your world upside down

And you spin out of control

 

Your neves are always frayed

You can't concentrate

You live in near contstant fear

 

It's the most irrational things

That wouldn't bother anyone else

That drives you insane

 

There comes a time

When it gets ol to hear

People telling you to calm down

 

It's not like you enjoy it

Like you like living this way

Every moment on guard

 

How you wish you could be normal

Not stressing all the time

Man, wouldn't that be nice?

 

No one seems to understand

How it feels to be you

They think you're just being a drama queen

 

But when every day is something to dread

Scary thinks waiting on the horizon

Your heart never stops racing

 

You call me crazy

When I start to panic

But it's only a joke to you

 

To me it's not a game

To me it's serious

It's a Hell with no escape

 

Talking on the phone

Getting behind the wheel

Everything seems a daunting task

 

I wish I could go through life

Without the worry cloud constantly hanging over me

LIke a storm, inevitable

 

Always assuming the worst

Never truly enjoying life

It's the way you live

 

It's honestly hard for me to believe

That you could honestly think

That I'm making this up

 

I don't want to be this way

But everything feels out of my control

How can you say that I like this?
