I don't sleep anymore.

Panic. I guess that’s the only way I can describe the feeling I get when I wake up. Anxiety from middle school, into high school, ebbing into my college life. Now, a month out of college, anxiety is the only thing I feel when I try to watch TV, or read a book, or go to sleep. I feel anxiety when I’m not working, but sometimes I'm too anxious to even work.

While this diagnosis certainly came as a surprise, I’m grateful for the opportunity to discover more about myself as I embark on this journey of healing and self-love.
