Anxiety is a horrendous disease that has affected millions in the United States every year to feel trembling, shaking, palpitations and other awful side effects. Unfortunately, I happen to be one of those people. For too long I have endured the dire symptoms of this ugly illness. I now feel impelled to alter this sick power over me. To no longer let anxiety control my life and make me feel dreadful.

The goal of anxiety is to attack the body with an enormously overwhelming feeling of distress, fear, or apprehension. It likes to start off slow, but progressively gets worse over time. It is officially time to change that. There are so many reasons that I can say as to why I want, no, must declare independence from anxiety. One of the main reasons is that anxiety takes over my body like a disturbing usurpation. Another reason is because this disease not only affects my ability to relax, but also my ability to focus on work and do everyday activities. Yet another reason as to why I must declare independence from this dreadful illness is because it elevates my stress levels and depression.

Anxiety has generously provided me with divers grievances, some of which are listed below:

It has caused great pain, both emotionally and physically, reducing the ability to do mundane tasks.

It has caused aggravation of depression, fatigue, and irritability. This makes it difficult to sleep through nights, concentrate and be happy.

It has caused issues of the ability to socialize with others, and speak; There was a period where speaking did not occur at all due to the fear that anxiety has rendered me.

It has caused severe convulsions; Awful periods of transient shaking, trembling and spasm.

It has prevented so much joy, love and laughter that was instead spent being afraid and crying.

It has aggravated my asthma; During anxiety attacks, my breath becomes short and makes it hard to breathe properly.

There is a sundry amount of things that I have tried to assent to the demands of this disease, to prevent this from getting to this point, but I could no longer take this anymore;

I have tried to master mindfulness; Every day I would meditate with numerous topics and guides, trying to calm down the anxiety.

I have sought counseling, as I believed that this would ease the many symptoms I suffer with on a daily basis. Everyone told me that talking to someone would be therapeutic, but unfortunately, this was only a transient solution.

I have tried the use of medicines; After all else failed, I thought that medicine was the best option for any relief. They tricked me into believing that I was going to be ok after this, that the symptoms would no longer be so severe; It was perfidy.

Therefore, I, appeal to the disgusting, dreadful, ugly disease that calls itself Anxiety. I hereby declare myself completely free from all ties to this illness. We no longer have anything to do with other, and we'll go our separate paths. I am now free from the horrors of anxiety and panic attacks, shaking, trembling, irritability, and so much more. Even after all that I have been put through, I thank you anxiety, for teaching me so much about life and it's worth, but now it is time for you to go.
