Assignment #21 - Luke Plummer - Anxiety

I’ve got anxiety. I am literally anxious all the time. I get anxious writing this. I overthink that you read this and think, ugh, this kid is just one of the normal ones. Grasping for things to make him special. Not at all. I am anxious a majority of the time. There are only 2 places I can think of that can quell my anxiety for limited amounts of time. When I am on the lacrosse field or I am in bed asleep. Notice that I have to be asleep. Anxiety has kept me awake for countless nights. I lay in bed thinking about grades that I don’t think are good enough and have to force myself to get up and do homework or study until I feel satisfied. I can’t not do something unless I'm good at it.

This anxiety has had some good impacts on me. I like people to like me, it makes me anxious when they do not like me. So I spend extra time to help people, or learn what makes them happy. I genuinely care about what people think and truly hope to be able to make them happy.
