Anxiety Mandy .

Anxiety is not but fear disguised as the void of uncertainty.

Anxiety / fear – know, the only thing to fear, my Dear, is fear itself.

Anxiety can harm you, can kill you, has only the life you give it.

 

Anxiety has – as you know only too well – has always left you.

Anxiety is not going crazy, is not insanity my Dear !

Anxiety is an emotion, is psychological, is physical.

 

No matter the source, no matter the triggers,

in the final analysis, you are in control,

you are the control, not anxiety !

 

Anxiety, my child, needs – from you – a good kick in the ass,

sent on into that black abyss from whence it came,

never again to enfold its menacing wings around your fragile soul.

 

Until that time comes, stand tall, look that fool right in the eye,

spit in its face with all the courage and strength of character

that has carried you, thus far, a step above phobia and anxiety.

 

Love Dad
