Incurable Anxiety

I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling. I’m sorry there’s no magic cure, I’ve been anxious my whole life but when the pandemic hit and navigating Covid through my intense job, I began drowning in a million “what if’s” and “so what’s.” What if get into a car accident and Jill someone? So what’s the point of life if everyone I know will die? Etc. Some days are harder than others. On those days, I smoke a little weed and get a massage or write a story. My new dog helps me a lot. I think I’ve come to accept I can’t run away from my thoughts, but I can live through them. For every bad what if, I force myself to have a good what if? What if today will be the happiest day of my life? What if today I fall in love? What if today is the first day where I find a miracle? I think taking it day by day, moment by moment, thinking of the good just as much as we think of the bad. I also know how much easier said than done, and I hope you know that you’re not alone.
