| know you're tired even though you just woke
up but just do your best today. That's all
anyone can ask of you. That's all you can ask
of yourself. Don't push yourself too much.
| know you're scared to fail. So much so, you're
striving for perfection and you beat yourself
up everytime you fall short. You're your own
worst enemy and i'm here to tell you, you
don't need to be. | know you're worrying and
thinking too much. And everyone is telling
you to relax. But you can't seem to. | want you
to know, it shows a sign of strength caring as
much as you do. This is not a weekness but a
virtue of yours. You have a heart that doesn't
want to hurt people. You come off as paranoid
but i know you just want to make the right
choices. Know that you already are. You're
doing great. | know your heart is racing but
you disguise it with a smile. In those moments
where anxiety is controlling you, take a deep
breath. Do whatever you need to will calm
your nerves. It's okay to be like this and you
don't need to change. Just learn to breath
through it. To accept it, and conquer it. | knowyou hate yourself for breaking down and
crying in private because of something you
couldn't control even if it was something
small. Stop hating yourself. Stop beating
yourself up. It's okay to have those moments
as long as you don't let them define you.
There is so much more to you than your
anxiety. So when your anxiety is getting the
best of you and you're hating yourself for it, |
want you to remember this. It will be okay.
Your entire life is going to be okay. The
relationships and the people who belong in
your life will not leave you. No one thinks you
are burden as you run over details a million
times of things playing out in your mind. You
do whatever you need to, to live with this.
Everyone else will learn to adapt also.
Remember, you are loved. You are needed.
You are cared about. And your anxiety does
not define you, so don't let it.
