Anxiety over stupid fears

Posted by RendonL @freddyfuzfan, Nov 2, 2022

I suffer from Anxiety from things I can't control which I bet millions of others have the same problem. But most recently I believed I would get some sort of crazy rare disease and die which was why I was so afraid to go to school. I got over it when a friend of mine told me how rare those types of diseases are and to not worry about them. I have so many other stories but I would love to hear from anyone else that could help me with my Anxiety problems or at least ones in the future.

I think my anxiety is largely due to my fears about what may or may not happen. Perhaps that is the very definition of anxiety!
Perhaps one can develop a habit of optimism about what may or may not happen. The glitch is always desire—hoping for or against this or that. I keep going back to Lao Tsu: ever desiring ever empty, ever desireless ever full.
