anxiety

A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?

Beautifully Different
Sometimes I wonder how much easier family and friends would be, without having to constantly worry about me and my struggles. Most days I’m on top of the world, and on some, I just feel as if everything around me is falling apart. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t feel good about myself, to the point that I just smile. Big crowds make me uncomfortable, bills and other things that I can’t control frustrate me, and the need to just hide away forever continues to crawl up my back.

5 Ways to Naturally Reduce Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal part of life. It's a result of living in a fast-paced world. But anxiety isn't all bad. It raises your awareness of danger, motivates you to stay organised and prepared, and assists you in risk calculation. Still, when anxiety becomes a daily occurrence, it's time to take action before it snowballs out of control.

The Mirror
Dear Mom, This is supposed to be a confession, but it is also to be written in the form of a letter, so there are certain rules that I need to follow. Usually, I begin all of my letters to you discussing my state of mind, and then I fill in the heart of it with what I have done with my life since my last letter (or, more often, phone call). Those messages can get repetitive and dull and I have no interest in repeating myself.

From Hate to Hope
Dear Mom, I know you think you know everything about me. You can pick me out of a crowd at the drop of a hat. You know what music I listen to and what TV shows I watch. You know all of my pet peeves and all my passions. You've watched me grow from an infant into a woman and you have loved and supported me every step of the way.

Dream Journal Entry One
My day starts as usual. I brush my teeth, fix myself a cup of sweet tea, get dressed and feed my cat. The walls in my apartment are more grey than usual. Is this a dream? Where are my keys? I scan around my small bedroom which has rearranged itself completely overnight. My bed is on the side where the TV usually is and my desk and PC are moved into the center of the room. I remember leaving my purse in the closet on one of the hangers. I never do this. My purse is usually on my desk. There is a violet glow emanating from the closet. It is larger than usual. I step inside. The walls start shrinking around me. Everything goes a hazy grey. Opening my eyes I am looking at myself. I am at work. There is a rush of customers. Still out of my body I move closer to the long island counter. Where are the registers?

I hate you, I love you
You're often taught at some point in your life that the emotions, Love and Hate are two sides of the same coin. Neurologically speaking, that is kind of true. When you are in love or loving on someone or something, you aren't judging them, it is a deep passion of loving the existence of another person no matter whom they are. Hatred is the same passion, but reverse, you are judging someone, if you ask someone who hates you, they are heavily judgemental and will never run out of reasons to hate you. Most people, don't really hate anyone, not personally anyway. We of course as people, in Society have people whom exist that we heavily dislike or "hate". However the reality is that of a distant hate, a backburner hate, since the subject of the hatred is someone whom you are unlikely to meet.
