Anxiety

Wow, I don't really know why, but I just had such an intense spike of anxiety earlier.  I find it helpful to just lay in bed when that happens, which is what I did.  Means I was not so very productive but at least I was unproductive while feeling better instead of worse, which is what happens when I need to do stuff and I feel like that.

My Experience of Anxiety

A lot of the time I experience anxiety as just my brain rejecting reality.  Which, given what reality is like, I feel is not so suprising, but I do remain puzzled at times about *when* it chooses to do this.

Reflecting on Anxiety

Been feeling a lot better today after yesterday's anxiety attack.  Hoping this trend continues.  I like being able to do things besides laying in bed and staring at the insides of my eyelids.  Technically I can do things if I'm experiencing huge amounts of anxiety, but it's so inefficient that I tend to think it's better to address the anxiety first if at all possible.  Better to try to address  the root problem than do things so inefficiently I almost just as well not have bothered.
