Anxiety. The most common mental "illness" in the world. More common than depression. Or PTSD. Or any of the others. Why? Because it's so easy to get really anxious over something.

Anxiety. The monster living inside us all, just lurking deeper in some than others. It's always present though. For some thats when you're taking an exam. For others it could be going to school.

Anxiety. It has so many triggers. Past memories. Stories from someone else. Anything really. One second you could be fine with going to school, then someone tells you about a school shooting and you're terrified.

Anxiety. Some experience it worse than others. Some get full on panic attacks commonly. Some don't. That doesn't change the fact that we worry. Too much. Over things we can't control.

Anxiety. The one that's always there. Even when you think you've finally escaped it. There it is, showing itself to you once again. The one thing keeping us from doing the things we love.

Anxiety. It can be present in animals as well as people. It affects everyone differently, but leaves the same terrifying scar in every mind it visits.

Anxiety. The one reason. The one thing. The one illness. The one monster.
