A for Anxiety

A poem about running away from anxiety, creating mindful adventures, fighting the stigma, and battling your inner demons.

Fierce Bright Star

What I understood about my journey to diagnosis and beyond, after running 1800 miles across the UK, came out (unexpectedly, I must add) in the form of a poem.

Feeling a little more human now. ✨ After last night’s jaunt over to @storyhouselive in Chester with Charlie, I’m just seeing the photos that the very nice man took with the very same phone that ran from Land’s End to John O’Groats. (Yep, it survived that storm and is still going.) ✨ It’s worth it, I tell myself. Look, see, here I am tête-à-tête with the rather funny @mattzhaig. He’d just delivered a superb talk on his thoughts around our mental health debate and why we’re all a bit frazzled, still. 🥴 My brain left me at the interval so I didn’t get to ask anything half-witty or interesting, I was simply grateful to be there. Feeling very small around humans who stand up. It was like being a five year old again, looking up a lot. ✨ To be out of the house, somewhere that isn’t a hospital. And to have wheels! The difference these wheels made can barely be articulated. They just made the difference. 🛴💨 It was an experiment and one my good friend, or partner-in-crime, took on as a goal for us both. Sparkling and selfless, she’s a keeper! 🥰 I now fully expect a future Matt Haig book to contain the name Yvie, because why ever not!? 😁 Now I must hibernate. #MattHaig #NotesOnANervousPlanet #Storyhouse #Chester #friends #theatre #NotStandUpComedy #wheels #wheelchair #MEcfs #spoonie #pwME #MentalHealth #BipolarDisorder #Anxiety #Depression #TalkAboutIt #NiceBloke #BlackAndWhite #SmileWhileYouCan
