A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?
Anxious People
Well, the book “Anxious People” by Fredrik Backman, is one of his greatest. One of his best-selling books didn't work for me. But I had a good feeling about this one, and I've been anticipating its release since I saw the cover reveal.. And yes, this book is going to be adapted as a TV series! I mean just do it 🖤
My Biggest Fear
As a woman who has been blessed in her life to have most of what she wanted my biggest fear is dying feeling unfulfilled. It is easy to do, and many people who have accomplished much and at the end of their lives felt empty. This is what I do not want to happen to me. I did not even think of this until the pandemic caused the USA to close down in March 2020. Being shut-in for a while and then having to use some precautions that I usually would not have to think about when going out I started to ponder about the end of my life. Before March 2020 I was too busy to think about the end. Just had so much to do that I would be physically tired at the end the day.

And if you want to feel better, you need to take care of your physical needs first. Here are some ways that you can overcome anxiety without getting bogged down by the mental aspect of it all!

Oliver SmithPublished 2 years ago in PsycheLiving with anxiety and what I've learned so far
I've experienced anxiety from a very early age. I lived with my mom for most of my childhood, and she was everything I had at that time. Around when I was 6 or 7, I started having anxiety about losing my mom. At night, I pretended to sleep until she went to bed, and throughout the night, I would put my finger under her nose to check if she was breathing. This type of behavior evolved during my teenage years, and as a result of some unfortunate events, it intensified. I now had anxiety about public speaking, traveling, health, making friends, etc. I always felt like something horrible will happen, and I should always be on the lookout. But I managed to keep it under control somehow and went to college. My major was design-based, and my success relied heavily on the judgment of others. And at that point, at the fresh age of 19, I broke down. I couldn't speak or present my work to my professors without my heartbeat going up to 120. My hands would freeze, my throat would dry up, and I couldn't even give logical answers to any questions about my work. I felt horrible about myself and I thought this was going to be the end of me. I've decided to see a therapist with the insistence of my mom. I saw different therapists on and off throughout my education, and I've learned many tips and tricks about dealing with anxiety. Here's what I know:
A Simple Technique to Immediately Interrupt Anxiety
Anxiety is like a stomach bug — it comes on strong at the most inopportune times. One such time for me occurred during my pre-doctoral internship. I was on a three-month rotation with the neuropsychology service — a training requirement for graduation, but not my chosen subspeciality. I was assigned to observe a procedure in which a patient received direct electrical stimulation to his brain.

Alain SaamegoPublished 2 years ago in PsycheIt Calls You
There is something about the dark that calls us into it. Whether it is the itch to find out what is of the unknown even if we know not to touch or the itch to get out from whatever hides in the unknown depths of what we know of darkness. Because no one really knows what is in there; some believe that our demons hide there, others that evil lurks there to take over the curious, and some just try to avoid it while they know they will never escape it. But sometimes darkness likes to show us a glimpse of what its depths can give us. For instance, when the dark nights feel kind, it gives us stars. Big bright balls of all-consuming gas. To us, the small humans, stars are small, unreachable, beautiful, and one of the things that make darkness dangerously beautiful. Those perfect spheres can calm our fears just with a taste of their blinding brightness, even from afar, they fill us with warmth and it makes us feel safe. Stars are beautiful, yes, but stars have one job: lure us into the darkness. It makes us feel good, so we keep our minds busy until they fade and we are stuck in the middle of the dark depths wondering how we got there. A moment of quiet joy turns into quiet fear. We're stuck. Defenseless. Alone. Nothing will come for us. Our only chance is to wait. To wait for the darkness to fade into the morning light. They will tell you that it will come soon. In the blink of an eye. But darkness has the power to make time stop. An hour gone feels like a second when you are on your knees praying for the morning light to come. Because you think that is found to help. So, the dark hours drag on almost making at noise to let you know that it moves, but not as fast as you had liked. Our minds loud while we blame the stars. Blame them for luring us. For making us defenseless. For making us forget our beliefs on darkness. Because we knew that darkness was alluring for all the wrong reasons. Darkness seems to win every time. Or at least that is what our thoughts tell us in the dark. Because that is when it gets the loudest. Or maybe is that voice that whispers from nowhere. Because it is really everywhere. It mocks our fear and it savors our stupidity. We knew better. Yet the stars were beautiful, and they will forever be. We know that once light comes to save us, it will not last. It never does. We forget. It is practically a cycle. That is what we are good at. Dangerous cycles. Because we are human. We make mistakes, and sometimes we learn from them. Sometimes we do not. Because only humans stumble over the same rock twice. When it comes to darkness, I have lost count. Maybe over a million times? Who knows. At the end, Darkness is one of those things we forget to learn about. To remember its sting. The danger. No matter how many times we tell ourselves not to touch it, to hear it, to almost want it, not to believe the sense of calm the stars in it will bring, we will always get sucked in. We will always find ourselves stuck in our fear. We will always hope for light in the dark. We will always find ourselves in the dark. Because there is something in the dark that calls us into it.
