Anxiety

“What is it like to live with anxiety? Imagine a voice that follows you everywhere, whispering doubts and fears only you can hear. It knows every insecurity you have and wields them like a weapon. In the crowded rooms of life, this voice can be the loudest, drowning out all others, even your own.

But there’s more to it than just fear and doubt. Living with anxiety is also about finding small moments of peace amidst the chaos. It’s about the surprising strength you muster when you feel you can't go on, and the unexpected courage that comes from facing your fears, day after day.

It’s a constant battle, not just with the voice, but within yourself. To fight for control, for a moment of calm in the storm. It's about the days when getting out of bed feels like a victory, and the nights when your mind races faster than your heart.

And yet, here I am, still standing. Wearing this shirt is not just an admission of my struggle, but a declaration of my resilience. For those of us with anxiety, each day is a journey. We wear our experiences not as a burden, but as a testament to our endurance.

By embracing this part of me, I hope to inspire others to do the same. Let’s not hide our anxiety, but wear it boldly, a badge of our complex, beautiful, and undeniably courageous lives.”
