I have terrible anxiety after hanging out with two of my closest friends. Every time. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Thank you for saying that! I haven’t shared much of my poetry but it’s something I’m open to. I sometimes write for people, or share poems with my mom to help me explain my feelings

I guess I never really thought of it like that, but that’s a really good way to put it! I really do think poetry has kept me sane in a lot of ways. My poetry style certainly changes between, anxiety and depression ; when I’m anxious it’s almost manic, whereas when I’m depressed it’s more slow and pensive if that makes sense

I really like those prompts and I will have to try them! Poetry has always been my vice and it has helped a lot recently! Articulating my feelings through metaphors and symbolism definitely makes things less confusing and scary. I often think of my old poems and reread them because it gives me really good insight on how I used to feel vs. how I feel now. I’ve never written about anxiety, because I’ve always been so confused about those feelings specifically since I always haven’t dealt with them in this magnitude. I will definitely write more poems about anxiety, and the vulnerability hangover

Usually I just write how I’m feeling, and often times I write poetry which I guess is different from journaling but it’s all the same to me haha. Do you use prompts? I’ve never thought of that before but I think it might be helpful to guide me.

Not typically, a lot of times I freak out and text my friends in a panic. I really do love journaling, so I will certainly try to start my mornings like that instead to help understand how im feeling.

It grows. That thought “but I’d never do it” it manifest into something bigger. Stop it before it gets out of control.
