No, my anxiety isnt my identity, but it changes the way that I date.
It changes the way that I function.

I want to tell you something about me.
Ernest Brillo
I want you to know that I have anxiety.
I have severe anxiety.
It isnt something that I just switch on or off.
It isnt just a chemical imbalance or the results of my childhood trauma.
It is a combination of both the good and the bad.
It is listening to my favorite song over and over to calm down.
It is never listening to my favorite song because it reminds me of my past.
I dont just get anxious about one thing or about everything.
My anxiety is the most paradoxical thing about me.
I overthink my reactions and wonder if I am too much or too little.
I want you to feel my pain as I worry about my hearts safety, and yours too.
More than anything, I want you to know that I am lovable through my anxiety.
I hope that when it gets the best of us, you will forgive me.
I am trying with all that I have to be brave enough to love you through my anxiety.
hey, love me through it as well.
