On anxiety
I recently began fighting with some anxiety again.
After some thinking, and discussions with a therapist I have come to the conclusion that anxiety is here to stay, and I shouldn't have ignored my permanent mental neighbor for as long as I did. It also got me thinking that the brain is incredibly fragile.
It's strange how anxiety can show up knocking at the door after an 8 month hiatus, and it's curious how the brain just accepts it again.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's weird. Its intention is to protect, and yet it often does the opposite. However, it does occasionally perform its duties in a beneficial way, so I would rather it not disappear- but I unfortunately do not get a switch or a dial.
I don't hate anxiety, but I don't like it. It's a bit rude.
