The Invisible Weight of Anxiety — Living With a Mind That Never Stops Racing
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks or someone gasping for air. Sometimes it’s invisible—quiet, hidden beneath a smile or small talk. For me, anxiety has always felt like carrying a backpack full of bricks that no one else can see. On the outside, I might look composed, even cheerful. But inside, my thoughts are racing, my chest feels tight, and I’m constantly preparing for a disaster that never seems to come.

I Finally Divorced My Mother This was not an act of anger. It was the final, radical act of my own preservation. To "divorce" your mother is a jarring concept. It feels like a violation of the sacred bond we’re told should be unbreakable. For years, I believed that, too. I spent decades trying to renovate a relationship that was built on a fault line, hoping that if I just found the right words or the right therapist, the foundation would finally be safe.

I See Dead People
The memory of my first out-of-body dream is vague, as opposed to the lucidity of the myriad I have encountered since. I was seventeen and had been working twelve-hour night shifts, 7pm to 7am, and in the mornings, when I was finally home, I would collapse into bed and pass out from fatigue.

The Truth About Relationships and Depression
My phone lit up with another reminder: dinner tonight, a plan I had said “yes” to days earlier. Back then, I thought I’d be able to handle it. But now the weight of depression had settled into my body like lead. Even the thought of showering, getting dressed, and stepping outside felt impossible.

We Suffer More in Imagination than in Reality
Life is rarely as harsh as the stories we tell ourselves about it. The Roman philosopher Seneca once wrote, “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” These words, from his collection of letters known as Letters to Lucilius, carry timeless wisdom. They remind us that much of our pain does not come from the events themselves, but from the anxious rehearsals we perform in our minds.
