I get it.

Anxiety…

Big word. It seems to affect people, in some ways differently, and in some ways the same. You can’t always see it from the outside. Its vicious though. It can take control of your life if you let it and it does want to. It can creep in from out of nowhere and leave you feeling helpless. And it can happen for a number of reasons. I’ve struggled with it for years now and it’s a hard thing to deal with. For me, it makes me feel out of control, it makes me feel shaky and tingly, it makes me feel nervous like something bad is going to happen, it makes me too sensitive to even brush my hair without it hurting, it makes me feel like I’m failing at everything I’m doing, it makes me feel low, if I hear a knock at the door my heart sinks and I feel nervous, it makes me feel like I’m letting my husband down as his wife because certain things i just can’t bring myself to do, it makes me feel like I’m letting my babies down because some days I’m just not much fun, at night it makes me think of everything I did and everything I could’ve done throughout the day, it makes it hard on my husband to go to work everyday because there are days I just beg him to stay home with me because he makes me feel safe. It can do so much harm that sometimes I forget that I can have comfort in Jesus. He is the ultimate comforter. If you struggle with anxiety, you can always talk to me about it. I’m here and I get it.
