A personal art piece I made of my maned lioness fursona for myself. Basically at a stage in life where she's thinking back on how much she's endured and all the struggles and pain she faced along her journey but that in the process she came to finding who she is and slowly healing from past emotional trauma and learning to love herself fully. I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves.

"Once in a dream I thought I could be anyone I wanted
Hard to believe, but it felt real to me
Until the morning
When I'm awake, I still can't shake the taste of freedom
I can't stop
I can't break
I carry the weight for you
It's the loneliest road, road I know, I know, I know
The loneliest road, road I know, I know, I know
Once in a dream I thought I could keep you safe forever
You held on to me
A beautiful scene
I still remember
When I'm awake, I hide all the chains so you aren't afraid
I can't stop
I can't break
I carry the weight for you
It's the loneliest road, road I know, I know, I know"

Yeah, it hurts a lot whenever it comes up by a triggering memory or when someone does or says something that brings the anxious feelings up. Sometimes it lasts a day, week, or month depending on how bad it is. Doesn't happen everyday but only when something triggers it. I've learned over time the only way to cope with it is by speaking positive uplifting words about myself, practicing meditation/yoga, listening to calming music, drawing, talking to my therapist and trusted family members and friends how I feel, and using essential oils. Sometimes I even have to distance myself from people until I'm feeling better again.
As I've gotten older I learned that this will never truly go away but that there are healthy ways to combat the anxiety to lessen the symptoms. In the end it's made me a much stronger person mentally and emotionally.
