Let’s play a game shall we? Guess who.

I am what makes you neglect your work. I am what makes u push away friends and family. I am the thing perched on your shoulder critiquing your every move. I am the thing that will remind you if you try to tell people about me, they’ll call you a lier and not believe you. I am what makes you take a second look what your razor while shaving. I am the thing that tells you that you deserve the pain I’m causing. I am what is sitting on ur chest while you try to lay down. I am what is making it hard to breath. I am what people label “bad” and “weird”. I am the thing making u exhausted. I am the thing on your pillow that won’t let u sleep.

I’m not depression, anxiety, or nerve. I am not a feeling.

Take another look at the pile of clothes on your chair again. Still think I’m just a feeling?
