Somewhere along the way, a void started to form in my chest. It's a sensation that's hard to put into words, anxiety, sadness, and confusion seem to mix into a dark embrace that threatens to engulf me. Days blur aimlessly, caught in an endless cycle of worries and physical symptoms that persist. There are moments when despair looms over me like a heavy shadow.
The whys that haunt: The triggers of my struggle
This darkness that surrounds me didn't just appear out of nowhere. It has its roots in a series of difficulties I've faced. It began with the passing of uncle, someone whose presence radiated light. His departure left an immense void in my heart. Then, there's my brother, battling his own demons, a constant reminder of human fragility. My grandmother's illness deepened the sense of vulnerability. And when my mother's heart issues entered the scene, everything seemed to crumble.
The shadow of the future: Navigating vulnerability and frustration.
Anxiety gains strength when I experience physical symptoms. The thought of ending up in a hospital looms like a dark threat. Vulnerability overwhelms me, imagining scenarios where I'll be alone in the midst of difficulty. At times, frustration joins the mix, burning within me like an intense flame.
