[x]

AttackHer breath quickens as she paces the aisles,
Goosebumps stretch her skin over bones,
She's alone here, but not at ease.
The air is thick and cool,
The walls climb,
She hears echoes from memory,
"Breathe. In...out..."
But she cannot.
Where her breath was quick and short,
It now slows, constricts,
Air does not enter her lungs.
The moment lasts forever.

I Am Strong.by ~MrFuddles

Manga & Anime / Traditional Media / Mixed Media

I've always secretly prayed for every single person in the world who's ever called people who have anxiety pathetic, or weak to experience a full on panic attack.
Let's see how strong they truly are then, if you're so sure we're the weak ones.

So true. Your words "Anxiety does not make you weak. It is caused by trying to be strong. For far too long." really hit the mark for me and i know what you mean about wanting people who think you are weak because you have anxiety problems to have just one panic attack so they can see what its like. I think people find it confusing why i see myself as strong and yet i seem so weak on the outside.

[= It makes me really happy to let people know that Anxiety isn't at all what others think; It's an inability to be open with our feelings and brood over them. A chemical inbalance, and despite it causing us so much pain, we have it for a reason. And because of that reason, we are so much stronger than the ones who don't have it. It allows us not to drown in the ocean when we've only learned to swim in the pool if you will.

I'm glad you feel that way, suffering from anxiety myself, I felt it should be said. ^^
