When my wife passed I was fearfully anxious for many years but somehow relish in it now. My best writing & art comes when I am in a fit of anxiety & I realize I don't have to feel 100% in order to be productive.
Develop the knowledge & skills you need to move forward when you feel yourself being swept up in moments of anxiety or panic. When you train your brain to accept that you’re afraid or anxious but move forward anyway, anxiety doesn’t matter. Idk. Just my dumb 2 cents.
Great response. Not dumb at all. I know talking helps. That's why I made this post. I've been smiling ever since. Responding to comments distracts me. Plus, as far as art goes, I love writing crazy fictional stories. Maybe, I'll try that. You're the best. Good advice.
I try to read everything I come across just as tools to be able to further my writing skills. I would enjoy reading whatever you have if you ever share them.
One of the reasons I Iike critical thinking is that I Iike dissecting fallacy in writing in a mathematical way. It's fun like a puzzle.
I haven't done that in a few years though.
Lately, Ive been writing children's fictional stories that imply something. I'm teaching my daughter writing skills. I get ao carried away though after were done with our lesson, I keep writing.
Sometime, hopefully soon,, when I'm in a more peaceful place, I'll share. I'm in transition now. Keep hoping to get on that jet plane for good.
