I’ve only been ill with symptoms for about two weeks but I’d forgotten what this was like. Normally when I’m physically ill I manage to bounce back quite quickly but this not eating is getting me down & making me worry. I’m trying different things but don’t feel like I’m making headway & a big part of me wants to give up. I try & explain this to people & the response just makes me feel like I’m silly. I just want to be able to stop time for like a month & sleep until I feel better. I feel like I want to give up but not quite sure what that means for me. Anyone else feel like this? #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Eatingtrouble #Foodworries #mindovermatter

Why am I so restless?
Why am I so still?
Sometimes I feel angry.
Sometimes I feel ill.

Little things I can’t control, send me in a spin.
Little things that should be fine, get underneath my skin.

I get all in a panic, I clench my jaw so tight.
Pins and needles in my body, prepare me for a fight.

I always feel so tired, from the whirlwind in my head.
I can’t relax my body til I’m fast asleep in bed.

I don’t know why I feel this way.
I wish it would just go.
How do I make it go away?
I hope one day I’ll know.

My parents shared with me this saying “if I don’t mind then it doesn’t matter.” What it is, is that I shouldn’t mind. I shouldn’t mind what people think, I shouldn’t mind what people say and I shouldn’t let it get to me. There will be days that you will feel fearful and insecure about yourself or about who you are or what you’re struggle with and what the world thinks about you. But repeating and believing in this has helped me through a lot. #Anxiety #Hope #SocialAnxiety #Depression #mindovermatter
