From Enemies to Partners
At first, anxiety was an enemy. Ready at a given moment to jump up and tell me the myriad of ways any situation could go wrong. And as soon as I made the slightest misstep making me feel horrible. A constantly churning in my stomach and a hand over my mouth so I could not express what I was feeling.

My Thoughts Were Holding Me Captive—Until a Prayer Set Me Free. AI-Generated.
I didn’t even notice when the noise inside my head got louder than the world outside. It began subtly. I would lie awake in bed, rehearsing conversations that never happened.

Not like in a subtle way but from deep within. From the very depths of my core . It is shameful, uncouth, and it, without any doubt completely showcases my involuntary degeneration.

I’m the One Who Never Falls Apart—Until I Did
By Nadeem Shah I’ve always been “the strong one.” You know the type—the person who listens at 2 a.m. when someone needs to vent, who holds space for tears that aren’t their own, who never seems to crack no matter how heavy the storm gets. That was me.
