Ease My Troubled Mind

I remember telling my therapist I want to live a life more at ease. I get anxious from cleaning my home to planning my gym schedule. It's a constant struggle being inside my head. Just getting out of bed is sometimes tough with a troubled mind.

From meditating, to medicating, I've tried to ease my troubled mind. I've constantly looked for a cure. This is something you can't really see. Cardiologists have said my heart is fine, despite me rushing to the hospital after an anxiety attack. My old psychiatrist once said I have a high tolerance to pain, but my brain hurts every single day.

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind. I've climbed steep mountains and seen astonishing sunsets. I've been in different seas and have eaten in places I'd only seen on TV. I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind. And yet I tend to be overwhelmed.

A friend of mine suffering from anxiety and depression said they’ve tried everything to help them heal. They’re not sure what else to do. A family friend of mine was suffering from PTSD and he is no longer with us. I’m focused on growth and living this life I was given. While I don’t know the answer to our struggles, I do know we can’t give up. We have power, and we can use it to ease our troubled minds.
