You Aren’t Alone

You aren’t alone

When your mind automatically goes to the negative side of a situation

If you panic when someone does not answer your call

Or reply to a text

You aren’t alone

When your mind is constantly racing with a to-do list a mile long

When you have too many good days in a row so you know the show must be soon to drop

When seeing someone’s name on your caller ID brings you to fear

You aren’t alone

If you need a few minutes of silence to breathe deeply

If for needing fresh air is for more than the children

When you stay up late wondering if anyone else ever struggles the way you are struggling

You aren’t alone
