Fragmented and repetitive thoughts clash and clatter off the corners of my brain, filling the space between with jagged shards of worry, spiraling themselves into twisted chaos.
Future, rational thoughts are trapped…caught in the web of anxiety, unable to escape. Unable to regain control. The turbulence just beyond their grasp. They reach their outstretched arms through the murky, unyielding barrier between them and the reasonless swarm of uncertainty and anguish…desperate to break through and calm the churning storm. But for now, ultimately failing.
The frenzied thoughts continue to writhe and spin, on and ever on.
Pretending to be a functioning adult is exhausting 
Amazing word choice. I could feel the dizziness the thoughts created. I hope you have a chance to write a piece of calm and peace. 🙂

I could feel the tension in this piece that so accurately describes what happens when we overthink and over stress.
