Sometimes I feel
worthless, helpless, hopeless...
As if I'm falling.

into darkness
and drowning in despair
with no hope of rescue
from this insanity,
this gnawing, clawing anxiety
Many nights when I try to sleep, my mind decides against it.
I start thinking of every little thing that I've done wrong or forgotten to do that day and my mind turns mole-hills into mountains.
My mind rushes, my heart races and I go into a panic over nothing at all.
I once had suggest I turn on a light when this happens because it would help since we perceive light as safety and comfort (her words, not mine). It does help but I can't sleep with a light on unless I'm truly exhausted.
