I’ve been struggling with a massive amount of anxiety recently. The crippling kind that clutches your chest and sends your brain into a whirlwind of terrible scenarios. The kind of scenarios that rob you of your ability to see all the greatness in front of you because you’re concerned about what it’s that most likely will never occur. I’ve been doing work, and getting help but it’s still a work in progress as these things tend to be. I’m making the choice to face the pain of anxiety and address it because I don’t think I’m alone in these feelings of fear, worry, inadequacy or as this article states “standing on the razors edge of life” afraid to make one false move because an abyss of failure is almost certain.
I’m not sure if this fear of failure is the root of my issue, but it seems like it’s at least part of the concern. It seems this world is based on this culture of fear, how do you break away from it? How do you combat it in your world? In your life?
