I’ve personally had a hard time with #anxiety lately. Stress is a definite trigger for #panic and right now #stress is pretty unavoidable. The only thing I can do is practice self-care, #meditation, and #mindfulness. If you’re struggling, hang in there, you’ve got this. It will pass. #mentalhealth #mentalillness #micropoem #poetry #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #gad #ptsd #cptsd #panicattack #panicattacks #livingmindfully #selfcarethreads #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #thursday #thursdaymotivation #thursdaythoughts #spilledthoughts #spilledink https://www.instagram.com/p/CI5zC2XlTom/?igshid=u5qawqv62v8

As the co-founder and CEO of @poets_in, I like to participate in new services like any service user would. This has lead me to this moment. Writing a #poem about my greatest worry. This task is part of our Online Creative Mental Health Programme™️. For more info of that programme, get in touch with me, it’s free to take. Here’s the full poem: ▪️ it’s the space the nothingness the death and subsequent bereavement that catches my breath i’m feared that it’s all i have left it’s the reverse to theft they weren’t mine to begin with yet they went and my lament is the ballad of the bereft it’s the space between the lines we were meant to colour yet within their confines the white that remains couldn’t be duller it undermines what they all say i’m more empty not fuller the scribbles chime one last time and they leave ‘her’ “her” is me and me is i i struggle to look my soul square in the eye i’m afraid of what i’d see i’m short of a cast all i have is my soliloquy i am a lie looks are deceiving i’m no social butterfly i’m here, alone, grieving for what i won’t have for what i know i’ll lose it’s what i’ve spent my life believing and receiving everyone goes the constant flow of love and loss at my cost i allow myself to be used abused it’s a cycle that leaves me bruised infused with their ruse that they care until they’re no longer there and they recuse themselves from the pain they reigned on me but ultimately, i see the blame is mine in the orb of my tear i find my greatest fear that i have to cross it isn’t love or friendship or people it’s loss… #poetry #creativity #writers #poets #writersofinstagram #writersofig #ceo #ceolife #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #shakespearesunday #poetsofinsta #anxiety #follow #like #love #instamood #instalike #instalove #bpdawareness #bpd #spilledthoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sJJtYlBCF/?igshid=1aid5m1dnglyy
