..."I'm happy being anxious" or "I'm happy being depressed", especially when that emptiness is felt in the morning when waking up or maybe all day with palpitations, tachycardia, it's as if we are scared but for no reason and without cause and we don't sleep well because we are just thinking, thinking about how to get to China by digging a hole, without finding the answer of what we lack, the emptiness, the nothingness... Accompanied by questions such as... Will it be this or will it be that?...
And the mind sends you, or sends pure catastrophic thoughts, the survival mode is activated and we become obsessive with a mind in alert mode all the time and the problems that happen to us are persevering and magnified that we even think I'll be going crazy? ...has it happened to you? That you feel with an upset stomach, with a feeling of choking sometimes...
It's a nightmare, living with generalized anxiety, when post traumatic stress, generates panic attacks 24 hours a day for seven 7 days, and that makes the body sick, maybe that happens to us through very strong and serious experiences that suddenly we have to live, it's like a living hell because of the intrusive thoughts that keep haunting the head. The stress hormone literally shoots up and cortisol alters to the point that you can't go out for a walk in the dark, and many times you need to talk to someone, and sometimes it happens like a murmur other times like a thunderclap that breaks the night to remember that everything has a beginning and a calling.
Our mind when it is anxious keeps invisible doors that only open when the soul is ready to see... Not before, never before.
The worst thing of all is that what hurts the most is not what happens... it's what you imagine when you don't know what's going to happen.
The uncertainty in the face of that great void breaks us a thousand pieces more than reality.
Learning to hold on to the blur of anxiety makes a difference and that self-control is learned with therapeutic help, because in this way we learn to understand ourselves and to understand anxiety with a lot of tact and patience and it is one of the most complicated things.
We need to live before we die, and we achieve that by slowing down life, postponing and canceling things, for this we need more free time, and some leisure with ourselves.
We are living in a time where expectations have no end. It is very difficult for us to be calm when we put expectations on everything. We have to put a stop to the accelerator, and slow down to the "there is always something to do and produce" life in fast mode of videos and the maximum speed, in the face of the slowness that sometimes makes us desperate, and generates anxiety.How to calm that anguish when your mind is racing?.Is it wrong with you? I read you in the comments.
