“Is the same feeling, you know that anxious feeling. You does call it anxiety, well that is what happening right now. It will pass man, but you know is how a feeling man, you know…”
That was what a voice note from a close acquaintance who I had not heard from for a few days. I know whenever I don’t hear from her something might be up, so I messaged her and asked how she was doing. By the end of the voice note, her voice cracked, and I knew there were tears. I asked her if she could pin down the reason for her feelings or if she was just in a funk – as a close friend of mine would be the same from time to time.
