Anxiety- Hope beyond a Nightfall

Anxiety- Hope beyond a Nightfall

The dark side of you, which kills you every micro second while you still struggle to breathe…

It is like you have everyone around, yet anxiety makes you feel that you are alone in this world. Being surrounded by people doesn’t give any hopes to feel good, or to be just okay. At one moment you want to run away from everyone around but the very next moment you wish someone to be there and just listen. Someone who can just hold your hand and stay with you unless you are calm and back in senses or I shall say, unless your breathing becomes normal.

Usually people don’t understand these sudden outbreaks of anxiety, because it is as difficult for a sufferer to explain as it is for the latter to understand. Not many of us know what anxiety is, but once we have heard of the “bad word”, we should learn more about it. We don’t certainly get to know; anyone who is very dear to us is suffering from anxiety.

People who get anxiety attacks, are usually judged of being irritating, frustrated in life or indifferent but no one actually can feel the volcanoes of uneasiness, erupting inside a sufferer. It feels like some dark force has captivated your soul and not letting you breathe; like someone has curbed all the control of your body and senses at once… Nothing, just nothing works out at this moment except for someone being close to you and not giving up on you unless you come back to life.

Anxiety masters in stealing all the energy from your body, pushing you away and pulling you back at the same time; shaking all the strength that you have. And then when nothing seems right, the sufferer just cries. Cries till his throat chokes….

I have been a sufferer of anxiety attacks since 2 years. Believe me, it kills. And when I see that I have no one around to stay with me, anyone who can even try to understand what I feel during an attack, hold my hand and just say some motivating or courageous words, I feel what other people like me would be battling with!

It is not that we can just read about anxiety and know what it actually means… because only the person who has dealt with it, knows what it means by fading inside from every core of your body. Anxiety is such a feeling that pushes all your cells and atoms to work against your body, and you will feel the shallowness in every bit. You stop eating, you stop drinking, you stop going out and stay at home; alone in some dark corner, and to be precise you stop living your life.

That is what anxiety does to you.

I am writing this article with shaken hands and teary eyes, when I am myself undergoing anxiety. This article is to address everyone who suffers from anxiety and to those who don’t.

To those who have anxiety, please know that there are several people like you, struggling daily to not-just-live but survive; so please keep moving. To the ones who have never felt this poison inside them, I pray you never do… but you can be a big help to those who suffer. Never give up on them because someone somewhere might be seeking your help or support.
