Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
Absotively, I have problems verbalizing my anxiety and I am a gifted wordsmith who has been in psychotherapy for nearly half a century. Each and every round of the Not-So-Merry-Go-Round of anxiety seems to be different and in need of a new word set. Anxiety is a sneaky, snakey phenom which seems to live mostly beyond words.

Keep sorting and venting, Reese. Your verbalization is in there.
You are not alone. Welcome aboard.
Welcome. Sending you good thoughts.
You've taken the important first step in writing it out.
Now, anxiety is natural. It is a way to 'protect you from danger' naturally.
This provides the way it affects you-which is really hard to verbalize, especially since something you 'fear' may create the anxiety method to 'protect' you.
Once you practice writing out in a daily journal, often you find clues to help you remain calm.
Best wishes as you find your better balance.
Maybe their's no reason why it happens, it just does. You survive every one of them.
You just need to learn more about yourself to know how to control it.
