I think my anxiety is progressing to a disorder...
I need to get this out and I’m realizing that I don’t feel like I can share it with literally anybody around me but I have to get it out. I’ve known for a while that I’ve had issues with anxiety. I’ve had anxiety attacks before but they were few and far between. I wouldn’t have called myself someone who “suffered” from anxiety or “lived” with it just because to me everyone goes through anxious points in their lives. Now I am a wife and a mom and I have definitely noticed that within the last couple of years or so, I have become afraid of everything. Every discomfort is cancer. Every ache is the first sign of dying. Going camping is terrifying, travel is miserable. I used to want to travel and see the world. Now when my husband brings it up all I can think about are the people who travel outside the country and never come back. And kidnapped children... don’t even get me started on how many times a day I worry unnecessarily that my daughter will be taken from me. I worry I will go to sleep and never wake up. I worry my husband actually hates me and only stays with me because leaving me would be too much work. I am scared of the future. Always. I worry about whether or not we would be able to survive an apocalypse. I worry that I forgot to do something and someone will be mad at me for it. I worry that I will displease someone. And it all makes me feel like hiding away forever.  I’m getting to a point where I am afraid of living for fear of dying or losing the life that I have built in some way or another. Going for a hike on a trail in the woods on a sunny spring day hurt! I just read some nostalgia post about ‘Old Florida’ and all the great things about it like swimming in the turquoise water, sweet tea, sitting on a front porch, etc. And the first feeling I had was dread thinking of unclaimed and unrecognized bodies decomposing in the swamp... I can’t make it stop.

Fan theory that this hand signal was also significant because Wendy is left-handed and even if someone tried to copy it they would most likely use the wrong hand and would therefore be wrong. I might be totally off.

OMG HEADCANNON
So- what if apollo invented haikus because he was like trying to flirt with someone and he turned into a stuttering blushing mess and tried to say ’ hi i like you‘ but ended up saying haiku?
Like
Person: *exists*
Apollo, shook by all the hotness, blushing, stuttering: ajsfgkjs H-aik-ku
Person, confused: what
Apollo, about to invent haikus: oh haven’t you heard?

Writing Problems
*types a word and then sees that it has the notorious red squiggly line* you wanna fight Google Docs I know I spelled that shit right"
 *types a word and it turns out it is not an actual word* WELL THAT SHOULD BE A WORD"
“I wrote the word ‘said’ in my work 124 times FUCK”
*makes inhumane screeching noise when someone interrupts my typing midsentence*
The blinking cursor of a blank word document
*spills beverage on notes*
*cat sits on laptop*
‘I’m in the middle of writing a good chapter and my laptop is about to die and the charger is on the other side of the room, why is my suffering so real’
*stares off into space for upwards of five minutes*
‘Am I characterizing a character so well because I know the character or am I writing them as I would write myself’
A WILD WRITER’S BLOCK APPEARED
“lol who needs sustenance when I’m IN THE  Z O N E
Feeling like you will never be able to write well again
Feeling relief when you get inspired and write like crazy
That feeling of inspiration that makes you shiver and makes your nerves buzz
oneshot? more like ‘oh-shit-this-morphed-into-a-thirty-chapter-novel'shot
*more staring into space*
lol what’s dialogue
having to pee but can’t because I’m IN THE  Z O N E
being IN THE  Z O N E
Being OUT OF THE  Z O N E and crying about it
comparing myself to other writers (never do OK)
switching POV accidentally
BLANK WORD DOCUMENT
Tenses
*stares more intensely into space*
*computer starts whirring like crazy* babe I know this writing’s fire but you need to calm down
*looks into empty beverage mug* why
*sees a cliché* *cringes*
will the reader understand what I’m saying here lol I hope so
sleep? what’s that lol
*thinks about writing while at social events*
*gets inspired to write at the most inconvenient of times, such as at the dentist’s or in the shower*
*gets zero inspiration when actually has time to write*
WRITER’S BLOCK
B L A N K  W O R D  D O C U M E N T
*stares into space forevermore*
