Anxiety. A seven letter word. "What is anxiety?" You might be asking. Anxiety is basically fear, or constant worry. It is something, I, Echofeather, suffer from. The past few days, maybe weeks.. I've barely gotten any sleep. True, I am an insomniac. But this is different. I'm up all night, thinking about bad things could happen. "Maybe If I stay awake, it won't happen." I think to myself. But that's not how it works. I sit, staring out my window. Just waiting for something.. maybe a fire to start. Even though I know it wont. Sometimes, the house creaks and it sounds like feet. Something waiting for me, to turn the corner. Anxiety, Hate, Depression, Loneliness.. are what eat me alive. Day and night. But it only gets worse. If I don't do something It'll eat me inside But- what is that something? Consult others, talk to friends. Anything helps, except shutting yourself out from the world. I just wanted you to know, that there are other people that are lonely or depressed. It may feel like it but.. You're not alone. So, let's be lonely and depressed together, hm?
