Do you ever get so anxious that you can't eat?
Can't move, can't breathe, can't think. Can't pull yourself out of bed to get a shower, can't say or do anything without hating yourself, can barely clean without giving up 2 minutes in because it all feels too overwhelming.

Do you ever get so anxious that your head hurts?
Your mind keeps forever spiralling inward, thinking of every single thing that could go wrong or has gone wrong.

It's a never ending cycle: you feel so awful you can't take it anymore, you try to talk to someone about it, they either don't understand or don't listen, so you withdraw and continue to suffer in your own hands.
Feeling worthless no matter how well you do or what you do right in everyone else's eyes.
Feeling like no one likes you, and why would they, considering how disgusting and lazy you are?

You know you can't be vulnerable because then everything around you will crash and crumble and your head will start to scream at you to stop because they don't care, they've never cared.
