Busy Surviving

I lied and said I was busy.

I was busy; but not in a way most people understand.

I was busy taking deeper breathes.

I was busy silencing irrational thoughts.

I was busy calming a racing heart.

I was busy telling myself I am okay.

Sometimes this is my busy, and I will not apologize for it.

- B. Oakman

Anxiety and other mental health issues can be debilitating. I don't expect those that who do not suffer to understand but I do expect them not to judge. I will do whatever I must do to cope and your love and support will make that easier. I do not know how to explain it to you so please do not ask. Just be there for me when I need you or ask for your support.
