the mind is a blessing and a curse, I know how you feel.

I drew this partially to deal with personal anxiety, and also because I know it's something everyone goes through (waking up with these awful thoughts). I felt it might be good to draw it out in case it could help others.

:3 yep, I would say it makes for a very relatable piece

there is also that little voice in your head that tells you its not true. People like you, love you, care about you. and aren't just going to walk away cause you did a small stupid thing that they won't even remeber...

Unfortunately it can be very quiet and at the same time the other (bad) voice can be VERY loud..

I've gotten much better about acknowledging this (that people aren't gonna just abandon me), but every once in a while I wake up in the middle of the night and anxiety brain is going nuts, reminding me how awful life would be if everyone was gone.

In all seriousness, I know all about this sort of anxiety and terror. My Flock is my life - literally - and to lose them would be to lose all purpose in fighting to stay alive. They're family to me.

I may be just some weird old acquaintance but I can say for sure, if you ever need a shoulder or an ear covert, please, don't be afraid to ask. No matter you know these anxiety demons whisper lies, they're very seductive lies because they come from within your own head.

I won't leave. You've always struck me as a good person. Helping good people is my purpose in life.

Thank you :)

Thank you. I have battled with severe anxiety most days for the past twenty years. I find myself waking most nights because of horrific nightmares or thoughts of terrible things taking place. Part of me believes I should not have such feelings and thoughts because of how unreasonable it seems, and yet I do.
