My Best Friend: Anxiety

Today, I found a precious gem.

I was listening to some hardstyle on YouTube when, for some reason, this song popped up in the queue. Where’s the relation?! But YouTube knew what I wanted apparently because I instantly fell in love.

I don’t talk about the anxiety I get and the depression that comes with it from time to time online or in real life often because I still don’t even understand it myself. I’ve found that it’s really hard to have the people around me understand why I’m feeling the way I feel. The only thing I know how to do is keep my distance, to let it pass, and eventually pull myself out somehow. Sometimes it’ll last a couple days, sometimes weeks. I know I’m fine, but some days…I’m just tired.

This song lifted my soul today, I wanted to share and let everyone know that you’re never alone.

Thanks for stopping by! Stay inspired and keep chasing s2.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Julia Michaels]
My friends, they wanna take me to the movies
I tell ’em to fuck off, I’m holding hands with my depression
And right when I think I’ve overcome it
Anxiety starts kicking in to teach that shit a lesson
Oh, I try my best just to be social
I make all these plans with friends and hope they call and cancel
Then I overthink about the things I’m missing
Now I’m wishing I was with ’em

[Pre-Chorus: Julia Michaels]
Feel like I’m always apologizing for feeling
Like I’m out of my mind when I’m doing just fine
And my exes’ll say that I’m hard to deal with
And I admit it, yeah

[Chorus: Julia Michaels]
But all my friends, they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like
They don’t understand why I can’t sleep through the night
I’ve been told that I could take something to fix it
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah
All my friends they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like

[Verse 2: Selena Gomez]
Always wanted to be one of those people in the room
That says something and everyone puts their hand up
Like, “If you’re sad, put your hand up
If you hate someone, put your hand up
If you’re scared, put your hand up”

[Pre-Chorus: Selena Gomez]
Feel like I’m always apologizing for feeling
Like I’m out of my mind when I’m doing just fine
And my exes will say that I’m hard to deal with
And I admit it, it’s true

[Chorus: Selena Gomez]
But all my friends, they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like
They don’t understand why I can’t sleep through the night
And I thought that I could take something to fix it
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah
All my friends they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like

[Bridge: Julia Michaels, Both, Selena Gomez]
I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
All the damn time and I can’t seem to shut it off
I think I’m doing fine most of the time
I think that I’m alright, but I can’t seem to shut it off
I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
All the damn time and I can’t seem to shut it off
I think I’m doing fine most of the time
I say that I’m alright, but I can’t seem to shut it off
Shut it, shut it, yeah

[Chorus: Julia Michaels, Both]
But all my friends, they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like
They don’t understand why I can’t sleep through the night
I’ve been told that I could take something to fix it
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah
All my friends they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like

[Outro: Selena Gomez]
Li-i-i-i-ike
What it’s like, what it’s like
Hmm-mm-mm, mmm
What it’s like
I love this song
