''You are safe here, with me'' he always says. His wings are strong and powerful. He wraps his wings tighter against you. You're suffocating. You can't breath. He's so strong, much stronger than you. The darkness surrounds you, and you're all alone, in this dark, horrible fear that seems to get you whenever it wants to.
When I have really bad anxiety it can feel like I have something heavy on top of my chest and I feel constrained. It's hard to breathe, like someone is strangling me. It feels like something bad is going to happen and it feels like someone just ripped open my chest and stomach and put a big lump in there.
