silence

I’m going crazy with this silence. Why aren’t you talking to me? I’m being stupid. It’s nothing. So we disagreed. Whatever. It happens to people all the time. We promised each other we would talk things out and not give each other the silent treatment. So this isn’t the silent treatment. You just don’t have anything to say right now. That’s fine. I can understand that. But then I have another mini anxiety attack wondering what you’re thinking and if you are angry and how angry and is this it. Words can’t be taken back once said but I consider doing what I can to take them back before I realize how foolish that would be because it wouldn’t change that they are true and you would know it and we promised to talk everything out so I did. Talking I can handle. Silence not so much. I fight to hide my shaking. I’m having trouble breathing. I just want to stop thinking! My thoughts are too loud and distracting. Why aren’t you talking to me? It’s probably nothing. But the silence presses around me, making me crazy.
