As someone who has struggled with anxiety in the past (that's for a long other blog post) I go by the motto: if you think hard enough, you'll get anxious. In high school I had straight up problems with anxiety and ocd but since I entered college they've definitely died down. I think most of it is that I've learned how to train myself to be productive with my anxiety. I channel it into writing a list or getting one thing done and done well, then I move on. that's just what helps me and hopefully I'll be able to use that for the rest of my life. best of luck with your worrying!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277056535139881326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793800275921133426.post-54801313220416645562013-03-29T03:15:08.309-07:002013-03-29T03:15:08.309-07:00when i was in that phase, i kept myself busy. whet...when i was in that phase, i kept myself busy. whether it was doing a voluntary work, cleaning up, anything. just keep myself busy. i hope you'll get a job that you love soon. but Allie, one thing that i realised is that, there will always be one thing or another that makes you worry. with or without job. it's a phase. and i believe that you'll get it through. i have faith :)Nikenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568245786486683854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793800275921133426.post-4642960796421536992013-03-28T18:50:45.206-07:002013-03-28T18:50:45.206-07:00I recognise the feelings you're describing all...I recognise the feelings you're describing all too well! I don't think I've completely got an answer yet though. I make decisions all the time to quit worrying and stop being anxious about things I can't control, but it takes a real conscious effort to actually do it.<br /><br />I think what I need to do is make some time every single day to pause and make a conscious effort to quit that ruminating. Most days I feel like I'm too busy, but I think it would really help.<br /><br />And I need to turn my phone off. And step away from the computer!

But then again, when I think about it, at the end of the day, I have what is important to me and that's what matters. I hope everything goes well!<br /><br />xo,<br /><a href="http://janmloves.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">janmloves.blogspot.com</a>Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419208722280608620noreply@blogger.com
