A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?
Anxiety: A journey through poetry. Ep.1
Here we are. Bags packed. Ready for a journey of discovery into the heart and soul of anxiety. This series is for everyone. Whether you're new to anxiety or a veteran of many battles, one thing is certain; we have all experienced the same feelings. The tragic beauty of anxiety is that it is relatable. So by extension, as a community it should be easier to identify and support each other. However the bitter irony being that anxiety can, and often does, cause us to retreat into ourselves. Over the coming episodes, I will explore the raw feelings anxiety creates which many of us have but cannot communicate. The objective? Converting honest anxious experience into a creative medium that people understand, building bridges that form relatable connections with those in and outside our community and most importantly, understanding ourselves.

The Obitus
It was a gray and rainy morning the day Artemis received the package in her mailbox. She heard the mailman arrive at 8 am, which seemed far too early for anyone to drop off anything. When she peered outside there was no vehicle or any indication someone had been there at all, but the little red flag was up despite the fact she hadn't put anything in it to be mailed in weeks.

Words of A Broken Woman
I wrote this weeks ago but didn’t have the courage to post this publicly for others to Feel the pain in the words I compiled together in this piece. Today changes that though.

Why we need to philosophize more and worry less?
In times like this being anxious seems inevitable. It is as if like glue we are trying to get rid of. The main player concerned in this virtually inevitable turbulence is deepest part of our brain, which is also called “Reptilian Brain”. This piece of brain evolved in a way that it always keep us alert against any kind of physical danger. We may naively assume that it is only concerned with our physical survival, which is external. But, in reality, it is as much interested in our mental survival as it is with our physical survival. That’s why when our mental survival is in danger we automatically switch into anxious mode. It may seem quite unreasonable and irritating at first. We are not willing to embrace its existence. Most of the times we make war with it. But if we are to look from bigger and deeper scope, we may recognize them as our lifelong supporter. If it had a tongue to say something, it would probably say something like this: “Dear boss, I am sorry to interrupt, but I feel i need to visit you. I hope you don’t mind. To be straightforward, I detected a large dose of negative thoughts in your mind. Because of that, I think you will be better if you spend some sleepless nights. I can emphasize that I may come without any preparation. But, it is necessary for you to be awake and alert. If you listen to my words you will have invaluable insights in your way to greatness. Take your time and conquer the obstacles you face. Your dearest friend, Anxiety.”

Seven Drug-Free Anxiety Solutions
Before jumping into this information, I should give a little background on who I am and how I came to find these drug-free ways to deal with my most significant problems. I have joined the U.S military in 2004 and immediately spent 15 months in the Guantanamo detention facility. While there, I was a guard where every day for those fifteen months, I endured one or all of these treatments: spat on, screamed at, and having urine and fecal matter thrown at me every day. After that, I spent most of my life living in Afghanistan's villages, freeing them from the Taliban. We were attacked every day multiple times a day and, in many cases, were so outnumbered we were unable to fight them off. We did get to free hundreds of villagers and bring home many people to their families that were forced into slavery. But these were very bloody victories, and unfortunately, they tend to return to me often.
