My Addiction to Anxiety
You start to feel normal when you are practicing your addiction, and everything else feels weird and you feel out of place. You feel that the other things you used to do are nothing, but this addiction is what your life is now.
I used to feel the same way.
I felt as if I could not do anything else but be anxious. I would come home from work, usually earlier than my shift ended because I could not handle being there much, and just stare up at the ceiling. I would just think that if I got up from bed and stopped staring at the ceiling, then I would do something that I did before I became like this, and that caused me to be more anxious than I already was.
So I just sat there.
I sat there and did nothing about the problem. All I did was sat there and ponder what problem was coming next, and how I couldn't possibly handle anymore of anything.
You see, that's what we do. People with anxiety sit there and think and think and think about problems that they currently have, problems that will come if they don't do anything about their current problems, or problems that other people have.
We go through this guilt trip, where we feel powerless because we can't do anything about other people's problems. We spend time scared and, in truth, running away from our problems. Each problem to us is a huge monster chasing us down a hall with no end. That's the feeling.
But you have to cut through this addiction.
You have to learn that anxiety is only that. And addiction. You've allowed this to become your new life, and you are now accustomed to these feelings. You can't allow this to be your new normal, or that's what it will become. It will become your new life.
The sooner you realize that this fear is something you can get through, the sooner you will. Remember that every problem has a solution every time you are going through this. This isn't the end, every wall can be broken down.
But like all addicts, you must also realize that if you don't escape, it will always be like this. You need to want to not feel like this to stop it.
You can do it. You can do anything that you believe you can do.
And it's time to break out, free from all the worry, free from all the stress, and free from all the problems. You have to realize that you are living in a made up world of monster, and these monsters can be rid off. Take a moment and think about what you want in life and how you will get that. It will remind you of what your goals are and motivate you to rid yourself of this addiction.
