Overcast
As I wake up in a cold sweat from a night terror I cannot forget my mind unravels.
Anger has become an emotion I invest in with no interest accrued.
My torment is in knowing as the days grow longer my tolerance is becoming shorter.
I am programmed to obey my chemical imbalance if only to believe I am in control.
What horror is this that my forefathers left me in their will? Anxiety? Remorse?
My only solace is knowing that one day soon electro shock treatment will be available through the mail.

Your words deeply resonate with my own struggle I battled for a great many years. Anxiety literally crippled me.
Good writing, honest & vulnerable.

Homey hugs. Can relate to this well with my own issues with anxiety, ocd, and cyclothymia. I have night terrors sometimes too and scare the hell out of everyone else in the house when I do. It truly sucks. I take Prazosin to help with my night-terrors in case you haven't heard of it or tried it before. It greatly helps. Of course no med can do it all but it has seemed to make them less frequent anyway.
