A weird place to post it (an aviation forum!!) but here is a poem i have written about anxiety problems i have had in recent years (thankfullt now resolved):
The tunnel of anxiety
The door slams shut
Darkness gather’s whilst legs collapse under mental strain
Hands to ears, Chin to chest, roll over in a ball
A feeling of rage descends from the deep lonely mind
A move to fresh air fails as the body falls again
Tears stream into the waterfall of anxiety
The train of despair screams and grinds through the tunnel
Still no light, still no end
Pistons of arms flail like axes
Hopeless in a tunnel with no escape
No pleasure, no relief
When will it end?
A strange feeling surfaces from the mist of self-pity
Then light once again appears
Opening the mind to freedom
It’s all over…for now.

Well done Thorny, a problem I can relate to from teenage years. Getting things off your chest like that makes a big difference as I’m sure you know already.

incermountable is probably the wrong spelling…..maybe the wrong word entirely!!!
