The neat thing about anxiety is there's always going to be something new to worry about
Anxiety is a natural response to an issue... Fix it.
The issue is that under modern economic and social conditions, a lot of anxiety can't be resolved
Once it is chronic like that, there is no exit.
There is a reason why we see these spike of mental health issue accorss the board couple with constant terror attacks by unhinged people.
But nobody will link the two together lol because thay would hurt somebody's profit. Actually entire ruling class and their lapdog regimes would have face the wrath of the people
Don't let your anxiety be a prison. Do what you can. Leave what you can't.
Okay I quit work, now I'm homeless and starving.
I quit drinking caffeine and had the lowest anxiety levels I’ve ever experienced. Then I got in my first vehicle accident in 25 years of driving. So I decided to start drinking caffeine again because I’d rather be alive and anxious than dead.
I cut way back on caffeine as well and that did help a lot.
This is giving me anxiety.
That helps with my Anxiety!
Fuck. Now I can't remember what I'm so anxious about.
Anxiety is, by definition, not about any specific thing.
Well guess I'm fucked in yet another way
If you didnt already know, every person alive is 100% fucked. It’s the nature of our mortal existence that we are fucked.
Don’t let that stop you from living, because fuckedness is eternal.
I guess I'll have to drink more alcohol.
Fixed the issue tonight but you get double anxiety next morning
My GF has pretty bad anxiety problems. I thought about sending this link to her but it'd probably just make her anxious.
Ooo, fantastic! Can't wait to get old!
