A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?
Cheese Shamed
I allowed myself to be cheese shamed at the store the other day and it wasn't even done by a proper monger. As I walked to the back corner of the store where the cheese lives, I could feel my heartbeat quicken with anticipation. You see, I had just found a brand of cottage cheese called “good” and not only is the company super responsible with how they source their milk, but they also make really good cottage cheese, which, in my opinion, is almost as rare as a well-fitting pair of 9-inch high rise bicycle shorts. There is a meal in England that properly captures that experience for me; two sausages topped by something soft and amorphous...yes, bangers and mash.

Those Darn Orange Dumbbells
Those orange dumbbells sitting in the plastic box on the patio. They weren’t even mine. Would you believe it? A personal trainer who didn’t have any gym equipment of her own. Maybe a lousy resistance band or two, but that was about it. Why would she need weights at home when she had a gym to go to? Didn’t people go to gyms so they didn’t have to be stuck in small, awkward places where it was easy to start the day with the intention of exercising but then spending the rest of the day trawling through hardware stores trying to find the right plaster to fix the wall with? But, I suppose, with gyms shutting down in March, 2020, those darn orange dumbbells my dad used for his shoulder rehab would have to do.

Mr. Poser
One would think that with all that is going on in the world I would exhort my energies on things that are important, and not get so bent over things that others do, that to most people, are just a minor inconvenience, but…Here I sit, frustrated and butt hurt, spewing off at the mouth, to no one but myself. I curse the idiot who is holding up traffic for those of us who need to make a right turn.

11 ways to adapt to an ANXIETY problem
First of all, we have to understand that during depression our brain is lying to us and we can t use it to fix itself. So, we need somebody else: a therapist. Depression or anxiety is not about a person being broken, is about, unfortunately, a common issue nowadays. Therapy is nothing about us being ashamed for, is about wanting to overcome an issue that is more than present in any life.
