while bored in quarantine, i cleaned out my whole room , looking between a stack of filed and papers i wanted to throw, a file seemed a bit heavy, i opened it and found writings and poems i wrote about my health anxiety and panic attacks , the date went back to april 11th so its a little over a year , reading how i felt at rock bottom, the hopelessness , feeling lost and not being sure if im going to get better as my anxiety journey had started and i didnt know all i know now
I wish i couldve told my old self that you will learn and find so may tools to help you , and never worry about things getting better , because you will go through so mant things that will get better , time heals everything, and you will go to therapy in about 9 months, its far but it will happen , and you will get new fears, but overcome them , you will gain confidence and the things that scare you will be replaced with other things but you will become stronger fighting them ..there is so much i wouldve said but im glad i went through all that, we normally wish the anxiety to go and have great mental health ,but sometimes its good we went through something and became stronger
Honestly im struggling with alot still but im feeling optimistic

That's awesome, Kevin. There's always hope! You never give up. Writing poetry is such a creative outlet and a nice healthy way to purge your thoughts. I use Art to express mine. Kudos to you and start writing again if you so desire. It's a beautiful way to express yourself. Stay optimistic Kevin.
Thank you, it was weird to see it, because ofcourse i remember what i went through because i lived it, butnreading those exact thoughts a year later just made me relive them and it did make me a bit anxious but it also made me realize how much change can happen and how much hope there is if you just open youre eyes to it, sometimes just knowing that helps without seeing the change happen, just knowing its going to get better makes your current situation much better
