Depression meets Anxiety
Depression/Anxiety intertwine30 total reviews
Comment from Marienkiefer
Hello Charity,
-Each of your lines is like a stepping stone through your story.
Through the lens for a moment:
-Fluid progression.
On your title:
Readers will find interesting the encounter between depression and anxiety: what happens to anxiety when it meets up with depression, and what happens to depression when it runs into anxiety.
-Interesting word inventiveness and thought processing through rhyme association.
-I wonder what that soft voice is that you write about?
A rare review for your unique voice.
Cannot wait to see what you do next. All the best.

Comment from Sherry SG
So well described and articulated. I almost didn't want to read it because I can feel your pain, Charity, especially as someone who struggled with severe clinical depression and anxiety just a few years ago.
I healed myself totally through multiple modalities without any medication. It was the most challenging thing I have ever accomplished but it was so worth it !
That's why I want you to know that there's always hope. Many have healed themselves from such chronic conditions, so please seek out help. There are many therapies and alternative treatments available today and you can learn about them on the internet.
I wish you all the courage, strength and luck so that you may find your way to health and wholesomeness.
Please reach out to me if you'd like any recommendations or direction for your journey.

Thanks for sharing your story and opening your heart and mind to hear minds.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
I am so sorry to read that you are suffering to such an extreme degree. It sounds absolutely unbearable. It does feel, though, as if the healthy part of you is trying to write the pain out of yourself, and hopefully that can bring you at least some relief. Your descriptions and word choices were exceptional. You made your torment little short of palpable to your reader. I'm sure it is not lost on you for even the briefest of moments that some of the world's most talented creative artists (in ALL the creative and performing art genres: singers, dancers, instrumentalists, writers, designers, graphic artists) suffer from these afflictions. It's almost like the price that's exacted by the universe for having uncommon talent or something. I'm sending you love and hope today with the wish that soon you will find relief and begin to heal. xo

Poetry is nutrition and medicine. It's a positive outlet for me.
Comment from dragonpoet
This poem is well written and gives us an idea of how depression and anxiety co-exist. I hope the venting in your poetry helps lessen both emotions. It would be good if you could find the base of your insecurities and fight them off. Maybe through some out will lessen both anxiety and depression. I am not a doctor but I am one who prays, and I will pray for you.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Keep writing and stay healthy physically and mentally.

Hi Charity,
I believe you wrote what a lot of souls are thinking, feeling and experiencing.
I love the way you look at yourself, the environment around and within you and spill out these hard-hitting poems.
I'm snorting your painful lines sweet Charity... I made that pact with myself along time ago... If I can take away the pain of others, absorb their pain, then my life would be worth the ride.
You have all the answers within each question.
I felt this poem as I read... and for most, experienced its pain and discomfort from a personal level. I guess the key is and always will be... turning all one's negatives into positives, looking at life through a clearer lens. The opportunity drama in our lives brings us all... opportunities for great personal growth through experience if we choose so... learning to balance it all out to try and make sense of it all.
Always enjoy reading your work Charity... all the very best!
With our thoughts we create...
the answers to our questions.
Kind regards,
James.

You are very supportive. I am honored for you to give me six stars. I sent some YouTube links in your messages with some of my love performances.

Anxiety = depression. It isn't beyond your grasp to listen to others who have turned their life around. Jesus said "Peace, be still." Our spirit is using our body like a suitcase which will not be needed when we depart for our real home. Sort out your karma, don't look back at all, go forward with His healing hands. K xx

Deserves a six but I spent them all. Sorry your friend is experiencing those must be such an affirmation of your concern that you were able to channel her pain into this poem with razor sharp lines...
This prayer has helped me...maybe share it with your friend?
Until then...Keep baring your naked soul!
_--------------------------
Prayer by Thomas Merton:
"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this
you will lead me by the right road
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always
though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone."
Keep on believing, Charity!

Pretty powerful stuff you just 'unloaded'. Certainly wish you a path to recovery that is driven from within. Such a difficult task. Small steps make large gains.

Charity,
I understand your pain too much. I suffer from depression and anxiety. I tried to take my own life. I was plagued by sadness and loneliness and inferiority complexes.
For someone who does not suffer from mental illness, your poem creates a somber mood with which all people can empathize.
I hope you keep trying in life and never give up. I'm still ill, but I pray and take meds and talk to people, and those things make me okay.
Good luck with all your work, Charity.
Blessings,
And have a nice thanksgiving.d
I hope you find your answer for feeling ok.

another powerful and moving poem. Great work as always. I like your rhythm, your flow, your rhymes, and the overall message that perhaps you can find a way out of depression, drugs, and anxiety.
