i have a certain fear of the dark. because of that, i can relate to some of the things u were speaking about. this poem has really good imagery.

Teresa

I loved your poem. I just turned 15 a few months ago and I know how you feel. Unfourtunatley, I have have been dealing with anxiety for a few years now. To tell you the truth, it's a few years too long. Latley I have lost all my friends because of my anxiety. I get random anxiety attacks and have to leave where ever I am. Everything in this poem, I have felt.

Joan

I have experienced anxiety in the past, reading this was like a source of inspiration and motivation to anyone who ever suffered from this in the past or in the future. Beautiful

charlene

touched me so much, just exactly how i feel, word for word, your mind is a very powerfull thing,,,, to think of been scared of going out, of not eating, of not wanting to see or talk to anybody, gets you so so angry, theres no reason, no answers, its true nobody seems to understand, its so easy for them to judge, your living alone in a world that nobody understands.

roxanne

this poem touch base with me. i am bipolar and i feel like that every day of my life , the struggle

linda

I was very touched by this poem. Doctor telling me I have anxiety, depression and biplolar me not wanting to believe it. Yet, feeling it daily. I sink deep and rise quickly. Then there are times I dont answer the phone or the door. Many many times I have fooled many many people acting as if everything is just perfect. Thank you for the feelings that I feel and have felt through the years put into wordws that say so much.

This piece of work to me is very deep and change the way you view things. The work can also make you realize that god can give you the answer to everything

judy

I HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME POSITION FOR A WHILE.

emily

i love this poem because its how i feel most of the time. its great. and i hope you can do what you want to one day. hopefully that day is tomorrow! i love your poem.

eli

wow,i'm not a poet. but to my knowledge this poem was well written. the reason why it touched me so is because this feeling that you're expressing and the doctors call anxiety to me it sounds much like what i have felt when i feel overcome with depression. i never went to a doctor to be dianosed but i know that is what i have have every so often. and trust me i hate it. just the thought of it makes me shiver. you wonder how i get rid of it? i pray alot and believe me it helps it just goes away. keep writting you writting distracts your mind. and never, never give in.

virginia

i think this poem shows a lot of your feeling i wish i could do one to butb i wouldnt no where to start

Mfon

Thanks for your poem. Sometimes anxiety can make us lost our balance. Your poem is quiet encouraging, I think that's a word of advice to some of us surfering from anxiety.

Angel

WOW. I know how you feel. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder and every word you wrote is true. But there is a rainbow at the end of this black tunnel. I know there is!

Laurie

Very touching . would like to read where you are now . emotionally.

Lacey

It's sad to say but comforting toi read things like this so we all don't feel alone every day. I too suffer from this since I've been 18 and am now 26 i can say it's gotten better but to some people it's not saying much, I hope we all get better and things like writing about it can help, u might want to try the panic program a 12 week program online or u can print it, look panicprogram. com, or on google panic program, thanks best wishes

maricar

Cheryl

This poem was terrific in its simplicity and you have a talent for transferring your feelings by means of printed words. I had fellow feeling with you, as I have also suffered social anxiety along with a host of other pysch diagnosis's. I am glad that you have hope and can view a good future. Some with this disease have a hard time ever getting there.

gaurav

courtney

Thank you so much for writing this poem! This is exactly how I feel. I cry all the time. I have depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Now I know I am not the only one out there! God Bless

Star771, Your poem says alot about how difficult dealing with social anxiety realy interfears with daily life. So many people just don't understand how very real this desease (social anxiety) is, and that it's not just someting that you can make go away. Thank You for your words. they are the words of my life. im sorry that they are also a part of your life. Your not alone Star771

Great poem,I am in a relationsip with a wonderful person that suffers a great deal with social anxiety. I try to help him in every way possible but I don't think much helps. This has helped me understand his pain. Now I think He is leaving and I don't now what to do.

sagal

all ur poems are marvalouse wish u a good luck

trish

I got goosebumps when I read this poem. I feel this way all of the time. Sometimes I can't beleive I made it this far. Sometimes I feel like I need tto run from everyone, and I don't know how. No matter how many people say they have it ,I still feel scared to tell anyone. Hang in there, alot of us feel the same. I have so much social anxiety(ptsd) I can hardly be around anyone but my kids. If I do, I get sweaty hands, can't breathe,and feel trapped. I hate the dr. office., or anywhere I am seen.

jackie

Daniel

He told about being a prisoner trapped by this illness. But we all are prisoners, aren't we? Trapped by our egoism, our fear to talk about our and other's problems. The trap keeps os from understanding. The trap is in all of us!

georgina

this is tremendous. I do so hope you feel better now and all this is in the past. Best wishes.
