Anxiety Hype (?)
Anxiety Support / by StephenPlath

...See more I consider -or at least considered- myself a person who never saw things black or white. In my most steady times I used to find a blind spot in positive stuff and a glimpse of light in negative stuff. But things built up between my own social anxiety and tension at home and I faced the darkest 3 day weekend that I've had, with anxiety, depression and nothing to do since I'm out of a job. I woke up today, terrified of having lived that, and I went to do some exercise... blocking every negative thought from the morning on (I have OCD and I'm training myself to cope with it). By noon I felt uncomfortable at home again and left to buy a CD, again blocking depression and managing to handle half of my social interactions with normality (a good achievement). But now I feel anxious, in a state where my mind blocks every possible harm, and I'm oversensitive to negative words. I don't feel worry but anxiety, too much energy. Is this part of the process or do I have to find a way to let some negativity in and stabilize?
