🪷 F*** Off, Anxiety

A poem + my phone lockscreen wallpaper

"Hurry up,
  do all this stuff,
    you're screwing up,"
      they scoff,
those voices
  inside me,
    till I say,
      "Fuck off!"

breathing in the anti-anxiety peace of a sunset

I made this lockscreen wallpaper for my phone, which I’m putting below in case you want to use it, too. Seeing it helps me push back against the ever-creeping pressures I feel from anxiety, tasks, kids, and other people.

Here’s just the image, if that works better for you.

Let compassion rule!
