Anxiety starts to set in, nervousness too.

This is what happens when avoiding meds.

But stomach issues and other concerns interfere;

Nothing has been right for weeks on end.

Find your calm, return to center.

Resume your meds, and remember…

Breathe.

Time to get back to handling the basics,

Walking, writing, and cleaning if you have to.

Something is needed to take the edge off.

Sleep is fleeting and napping is not enough;

Dark circles and exhaustion show on your face.

Time to silence yourself in meetings;

We can’t let our struggle show,

It needs to be kept in check.

It’s how we moved forward in the past;

Time is now to do it again.
