Whenever I feel stressed or anxious, I often encounter the same image when I close my eyes. It is a vision of darkness slowly consuming everything, with only a deep red glow lingering at the center of my strained, tightly shut eyes. As the darkness grows, it feels as though my light is fading away.

Whenever this happens, it serves as a quiet reminder that my state of mind is not in a good place. It tells me that something within me is unsettled and that I need to pay attention to my mental and emotional well-being.
