I’ve never been prone to any ongoing anxiety issues, some situational depression but not really anxiety. I find it best to not futurize and waste my energy on “what ifs.”
My philosophy is I will deal with whatever, when it actually happens. The only real anxiety that hits me on occasion is in the realm of my finances, of which I lost everything, my job, home, in the great -recession—, depression, of which the trickle down effect culminated in a mudslide of shit, but even then, I am very good at rallying in the midst of chaos.
While I am not at all happy about this it also has shown me how adaptable and resilient my personality is.
I am at peace with my mortality too, after all, none of this earthly crap really matters in the grand scheme of the universe, if it gets too bad I’ll just check out, so really, I am in control after all. lol It is very important to stay in the moment, and not let your thoughts create so much anxiety that you miss the now, which is all any of us have. The past is gone, the future doesn’t exist.
Be here now and know that even if your worst fears come to pass you will survive, one way or another. Knowing this is very liberating.
