Someone asks me to do something I don't want to do.
If I do it, I'm in a position I don't want to be in.
Ergo, anxiety
If I don't do it I'm not living up to someone's expectations and now they're probably judging me. ... No, they're definitely judging me.
So yeah, obvious anxiety.
And what if I'm being asked something obviously unreasonable?
Well it makes sense to them apparently so what if I'm the one with the warped point of view??
=Anxiety.
I'm sick of feeling so awful all the time...
Do you feel like you have any power over anxiety? How big do you feel like anxiety is? Not just yours but I mean anxiety in general, as a concept, as a struggle. How big is anxiety?
ReplyDeleteAs far as having power over it it depends on at what stage. I can compose myself okay throughout the day and sometimes when I can feel a panic attack coming on.. But once it's taken over its like my brain isn't mine anymore. And I have to wait for it to go away.
DeleteHow big is anxiety? Not sure I get the question but to me nearly every decision I make and conversation I have is heavily influenced by anxiety. Being anxious feels like 90% of my personality. Its an all-consuming and constant presence in life. So, it's enormous, I guess.
