(not bothering with colors)
I need something.
Need need need.
But what?
I don't know. No clue. No inkling. None.
I feel like I'm babysitting myself, grabbing at thin air with guesses and checking off a list.
Need need need.
What need?
Food? No.
Water? No.
Soda? No.
Music? No.
Blanket? No.
Stuffed animal? No.
Sleep? No.
A hug? No. Don't want one.
Have Mike home? No, I don't feel anything particularly negative about being alone right now.
Need need need.
There is a need. Anxiety. A knot in my stomach. A yearning for something. But I have no idea what.
Need need need.
I need to feel ok. I need my stomach to be calm. I need to not feel like I have to fidget. I need my mind quiet. I need to feel ok. I need to feel ok. I need to feel ok.
Need Need Need.
I just want to feel ok. Why can't I feel ok? Why? I need to feel ok. Why can't I feel ok? Need, need, need.
I don't think I'm scared. I don't feel upset. I don't feel sad. I just don't feel ok. My stomach's a jumbly mess, not quite nauseous, but definitely not calm. I just want to feel ok. I just want to be ok. I need to feel ok. Why can't I feel ok? There's no reason for my stomach to be upset.
Need need need.
I just want this to stop. I just want to feel ok.
