You know that feeling when you lost your phone and you have like that mini heart attack? That's the best way I can explain it. I know what this feeling is. It's anxiety. I know I've had it since as far back as I can remember. This isn't your common "younger generational" type of anxiety. It's much stronger and more serious in my case, because I feel this way constantly. It feels like I'm always missing something, always FORGETTING something. Like I did something wrong, kind of like ocd.
How do I calm down more? How do I NOT be so stressed out and afraid of everything always, and just relax? This constant fear is becoming intertwined with my feelings for someone, as it always does. I suppose whenever I have a crush, I start to use them as an escape from my negative thoughts and feelings. That's why when life gets really hard (and they come to mind randomly), I start to cry and want them more 0.o I think my mind imagines that this person I like has a perfect life but rationally I know that's not true. How do I stop worrying so damn much?

i wonder whether it actually is okay to listen to your head, rather than your heart, for, based from my experiences, it had saved me from so much pain. although...
You can't just stop worrying. You can, however, put yourself in that person's shoes. I do that when I think about people sometimes. Like "What do they think of me?" I just act as that person would act and it helps me to focus in on what their emotional standpoint might be of me. I'm sorry I can't fix your anxiety (if I could, i wouldn't be suffering either) but maybe this pointer will help? Sharing what I have done is the only way I know how to help.
ReplyThank you. (:

ReplyI struggle with anxiety too. It comes and goes, and sometimes I don't know how to make it stop. That example, about that mini heart attack as if you lost your phone, yeah I get that all the time. Especially when I feel like my feelings will implode and ruin the best thing I've ever had. Writing out my feelings (like this) has helped me a lot. It's hard to say what will work for you. But don't give up. Breathe and remember that everything will be okay.
