The Silent Storm
<p><br></p><p>‎Anxiety doesn’t always scream. Often, it whispers just loud enough to rattle the bones, to drain energy, to make a simple decision feel like a life-or-death choice. In a world that never stops talking, scrolling, or comparing, anxiety has become an almost silent epidemic. It hides behind smiles, and polite “I’m fine” replies. But what does it really mean to carry anxiety through a world that demands performance over presence? This is the story of the silent storm.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a quiet feeling that something’s wrong, even when everything looks fine. It’s the heaviness in your chest when you wake up, the endless loop of “what ifs” running through your mind. It’s second-guessing what you said five minutes ago or five years ago.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎It doesn’t always make sense. You can be in a safe place, surrounded by people who care, and still feel like something is about to fall apart. That’s part of what makes it so frustrating. It shows up uninvited, without a reason, and refuses to leave. But here’s the quiet truth: anxiety is not a sign of failure.&nbsp;</p><p>‎</p><p>‎Anxiety doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. It’s something that many of us carry, often in silence. You might feel like you’re running in place, but just getting through the day is a victory in itself.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎</p><p>‎</p>
