Anxiety attack


Once it had subsided

I tried to explain it

But the words made no sense

Failure

Drowning

Tightness

Suffocating

Tears

Heavy

Frozen

“What triggered it?”

I don’t know.

Maybe that thing…

But that doesn’t seem enough

Maybe everything…

But then I am ungrateful

I have a good life

And should not feel this way.

The anxiety has subsided

And the shame sets in.


One response to “Anxiety attack”

  1. David wrote about this in Psalms 42. The song “Desert Flood” I wrote for your mother when she was where you are. It also quotes a part of Psalms 42.
