Anxiety is a tricky thing, honey…
I got more insight as I finished reading Lang Leav’s Sad Girls. As a person who has
experienced panic attack some times in her life, it had become more and more
interesting to learn about human feelings. And this book got me thinking quite a
lot about it.
I once read somewhere that, in fact, we tend to have the
need to keep being exposed with something that triggers our emotion. Whatever
it is, when our emotions are running high, we could act compulsively without
knowing the effect.
I can relate to the explanation once when I kept checking on
my twitter page (lol). Though there wasn’t so much to catch up with, I just kinda
realized that it was the twitter / app itself that acts as the trigger, so I
keep on running back to it. And it got me so anxious to think that I might miss
something when I wasn’t around.
What I can understand, then, is to take care of ourselves
first. It’s better to just log off from what’s tiring us, and focus and
something else, like doing something that actually calms us down, whenever
things feel overwhelming. I told about this problem to a friend, and he said,
“twitter would still be there whenever you feel like coming back, so take your time and come back if you
feel better.” I 100% agree.
It takes ultimate effort and time to finally be able to know
what exactly is going on in your head and heart. And though I still have a lot
of things to learn about human’s feelings and emotions, I best believe that we
have to make peace with the light and the darkness, the calm and the chaos. We
must accept who and what we are, then hopefully we can endure every struggle in
order to achieve happiness.
You’re not a screw up.
It’s about running your own race, honey.
