Back in 2009 I had a pretty bad anxiety disorder. I was bed-bound by my own mind and when I did try to venture farther than the kitchen (for educational or social calls) I had severe panic attacks. Everyone suffers each disorder in a different capacity but here's the one thing I have that brought my family understanding to what I was going through, hope it helps.
(The night of the soul) 19/4/09
Darkness creeps into every corner
The deepest places of my mind
Throwing off my equilibrium
Tortures me and I'm left blind
The air is whispering to me
'It's just us now, my dear'
Her cold grip wraps around my heart
Her howls are all I hear
My paces grow much faster now
But there is no escape
My breaths are hasty, shallow gasps
And tears rush down my face
Unaware of my surroundings
I look back but know no more
Now the fear acts like a barricade
It is too much to endure
My feet are frozen to the ground
My knees cease to be support
And I hit the earth with such a thump
Too numb to know it's sore
The tears are not an obstacle
All I need is to breathe
Stand up, push through this dark air
And run to find safety.
