What makes me so anxious?
Perhaps it is the fear of loss of control. But, either something is in my hands, and I can do something about it, or it isn't and I can't do anything about it. Maybe writing this down will help? Entry #1

I feel unease because I fear having to spend time away from her. Maybe they will compell me to shift cities in order to work - and here I was, trying to build something with her. Distance hurts and it sucks to stay apart. However, it's not like I have no options. May not be comfortable options - but I do have options. So maybe I should not fret so much.

I recently entered the stage in my relationship where I'm invited to every occasion, and though it always excites me the feeling of anxiety rises up within me like bile.
Yet all the important relatives love me so why do I even worry??
It's ridiculous how at times I feel as if I talk too much or too little automatically makes me an enemy of the state, if their love or approval must be earned, or I must prove my love for my boyfriend through a myriad of obstacles. Its as if anything im enamored with must be proven, and I wish I had that machine in The Stepford Wives so I reach every standard and am perfect in every aspect. Yet I am only human, and humans aren't perfect. Optimism is definitely something that can be worked on in my case.
I know I overthink and get anxious over the simplest glance or gesture, but sometimes I fear the worst on the drive to events and squeeze my hands so hard my nails are surely going to pop off. Yet every single time, I am welcomed with open arms.
I'm super excited tomorrow, I get to see one of the sweetest grandfathers I've ever met, listen to stories, and catch up on gossip. Its always pleasant to spend holidays with those who give love back, and I know I'm in for it tomorrow. I'll watch fireworks with some of my favorite people as my fears and anxiety dim, because they really are just fears and nightmare fuel that makes me so pessimistic.

🧠On July 13th, I had an episode. A mental one. I completely lost it at work. No, no one caused it, I wasn't attacked, berated, crushed by some coworker or customer, (alphabetical Tripel, triple C dribble). Today, right now, I was scared it was going to happen again. It's now a new fear, and for some weird reason, I'm not scared. It feels natural.
Anxiety is apparently in most animals, used to protect oneself from predators and danger in general. It's kind of funny, humans have become so fucking spoiled, we literally have it all, and yet, my wide eyes constantly switch from time to time to time to time to time to time to time (yadda yadda).
Thought I almost lost this, I accidentally swiped down and saw my faded blurry IG filter clown face. So with that, i'll end it here, and maybe i'll write some more idk.

🪟Realizing I have been afraid of excitement because it teeters on anxiety but that has mostly been out of a lack of confidence on my part And finally realizing nerves are good And make you feel a little sexy. anyway, anticipation and what-ifs are some of the most fun ways to use your imagination and energy in life and wow I haven’t felt how good possibility or opportunity could be for a while. Almost let the dream and romance die in me for a second. Yikes!

⭐Considering my impaired attention span that once used to gobble up 400 pages in a day, I decided to return to reading with the help of short stories. So I began going through Tolstoy's short stories which are surprisingly easy to read and refreshing.
Other than that, a few other recommendations :
1. Piranesi
2. Half a Soul
3. Mort
4. Emperor's Soul
5. Legion by Sanderson
