Living with anxiety is:
- Having literal nightmares of disappointing the people you live with.
- Apologizing constantly for things way out of your powers (thanks again 2020)
- Falsly accepting that every frustration in other people is your fault.
- Over analyzing every interaction with every person before, after and during the interaction.
- Having a panic attack everytime you walk into a conversation
- Having a panic attack everytime you are confronted with a conversation you did not prepare for.
- Having a panic attack everytime a conversation goes into territory you did not prepare for.
- Having a panic attack running into or seeing an individual you know without context, even in the comfort of your home (ie, family members in your living room)
- Living in a constant state of stress and expectations and failures.
- Always expecting the worst reaction to your work.
“It is hard to be understood, especially when one thinks and lives as the current of the Ganges moves.”
—F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §27 (excerpt).
