My anxiety has risen
Taking with it the words
That so freely flowed

Poems and Petals 
Words are overrated. Freely flowing words could be dangerous.

Emotion can tie up so many things, Vonita. Not your poetry head, though.

It seems anxiety-related stress has the ability to shut down the poetry, it will return when the stress has lifted!

use the stress for some angst laden poetry? when I’ve got a mood I can’t shake, I stop fighting it and allow it to become poetry, until I regain my default setting.

i have been experiencing this lately – unfortunately, the words I have been able to write have been rather dark. better than nothing – but the nothing is not feeling all that good.

Yes, I had first week back in office, and my blog and writing focus evaporated, felt like my words disappeared. I hope you feel better soon. Do you work during the week? (If I may ask!)

Yes. I do. My hours are different and I do not have the luxury of being online during work. Like I used to with my other job. Plus I have some things that are weighing heavily on me – the combination of the two keeps me somewhat detached. Except for my kids. I am having trouble wanting to sit in front of a desktop. 😉 yet, my blog and those I read like yours – are my friends. I love them dearly. It is hard for me to explain. xx

Thank you so much for sharing, I also am feeling more connected to a few on wordpress, even though I don’t know anyone (except one) personally, there is so much encouragement, and sense of community. I feel like my brain has shut down, for words to pop into my head there needs to be an open channel of creativity, but when I have other things to contend with – stress, anxiety etc, the pathways are shut (perhaps a bit like survival instinct, lol!) So if my blog becomes dormant it might only be until I am re-calibrated, we do not stay in survival mode indefinitely (well, mostly we don’t!) ❤

I feel that once your mind, body and psyche has adapted to the change, all will flow once more…you just have to be kind to yourself. All in good time…sometimes l feel that humans are just too hard on themselves. Hope and pray you are back in sync soon. Words are indeed power-filled. Before they are spoken or put on paper, they begin in the heart as intention, then they rise to the mind and finally manifest. You just have a wee temporary blockage…not free flowing just now. Stilling the mind helps, if you can. : > )

Anxiety, anger, depression, and other negative emotions destroy my will to write. Worse, when I do write and am feeling bad, it’s garbage. Find some time and a quiet place, where you can hear your own thoughts, not those of others that intrude, and you will find your words.
