The Fear

[wolven7]

I just realised that, for the past two-three months, I've been living in a near-constant state of emotional and mental dread. Every day, I have the very deep sense that I'm about to experience some kind of terrible emotional shock. It's got me frayed, on edge, and more likely to fuck things up in the course of my day, which sends me further down the spiral, as it were.

It's pretty fucked up.

Need some calm/stable time.

I know this feeling. Little shocks of overwhelming fear at The Great Unknown That May Or May Not Occur.

Today, one of my more potent fears actually came true so I have my fingers crossed for you that there isn't something around one of your corners.

Thank you. I'm sorry to hear that that came true, for you. I hope that it can be fixed without too much pain.

Thanks.
Hopefully the parties involved can work things out. A lot of heartbreak yesterday and its something I don't cope well with. I am a giant sook.

Can I ask how do you usually manage to give yourself some calm/stable time?

I've been contemplating this recently because my anxieties have been in overdrive these past few months and I am reluctant to speak to a GP because I don't want to be medicated - got enough current substance addictions without adding prescriptions to it, as floaty and delicious as they are!

I found meditation worked occasionally, when I managed to get some quiet time to myself - that rarely happens now, so I was wondering what you usually do to just... relax and calm yourself?

I really hope so, too.

For the most part, I try to meditate. I try to get some Quiet, alone time with my headphones. Find a really good book I often enjoy and can always re-read. Immerse myself in something wonderful.

Hm. Have a conversation with me on IM sometime. I'm told I'm capable of providing peace-stability atmospherically on a relatively reliable basis.

Awesome. Thanks :)

I would say the same, but I'm not sure it works if I've always been seeking succor.
