Anxious

I am worried about everything

And nothing.

Free floating anxiety

Generalised anxiety disorder

Call it what you will.

A hyper-vigilant, jingly-jangly nervous system

And a brain that wants to fix all the broken things to soothe the jangling inside.

Shouting headlines that don’t help

Broken education

Broken NHS

Broken care system

Broken environment

Broken me?

Every year a bit less hinged, a bit more fearful, a bit less able to carry on regardless.

Or maybe a bit more fixed?
