"You are a symptom of mental illness. You are not the real me"

I would Say ; “ I’ve accepted you , you are a part of me and I will never be able to get rid of you “ .

even though it’s a destructive wrong feeling , this is truly how I feel right know , after years and years of trying everything to feel and be normal nothing seems to wrok , so I ended up accepting my social anxiety .

Social Anxiety, you're both like a bad friend that only reminds me of my pain and my greatest best friend who I'm not allowed to talk to anymore. You fill me with petrifying worry and at the same time set my priorities straight and make me want to get my life on track. You're something to be greatful for, but nothing to be proud of. I struggle with worry, about going outside and coming back home. I worry about if Ill get three meals, if I go to sleep will I wake up tomorrow and struggle with worry again. I worry about next year, and the years after that. I worry so much I over think my purpose in life, my direction, my happiness, interests and opinions. I worry about people I don't know, farmers, soldiers, my family and their friends what their life is like in their shoes. I'd rather not be a bother to someone like you, and I'd rather stay out of your way.

Why do you make me think the way I do. Why do you constantly interfere with my day to day life knowing I have to talk to people. Will you ever go away fully?
