Ian Kenville | “Leave Me Alone Before You Ruin My Day” @IanKenville

I’ve had anxiety since I was 10, I believe. I’ve fought it all my life in different ways, and it’s been so crippling and controlling at times. I wrote this song as an acknowledgment of the shift in mindset I was having about it. I couldn’t control it, but I could learn to cope, get help, and fight back. It was my turn to throw punches.

I didn’t write this song to be a self-help anthem, I just wanted everyone struggling to know that you’re not alone fighting this. It’s okay to not be okay. Sometimes I feel like I’m losing it too.

But we’re gonna be okay.
