From Anxiety To Poetry

Simon Read

Anxiety: those debilitating periods when time stops, and you’re bursting with spiralling thoughts and feelings of negavtivity. I have suffered with anxiety for as long as I can recall.In 2022 I became interested in poetry and decided to give it a try. The simple acts of thinking and writing have been enough at most times to slow down the anxiety process in me.I hope that you may be able to relate to some of these poems and I encourage you to try poetry as an outlet for your own anxieties.
