I’ve live with anxiety for over a decade. I know that facing my fears is what got me to this point in my life and it is one of the surefire ways to get better. However when I’m in a slump where I can only focus on the fear facing me and can’t relax until the event is over I do wonder why I bother. Why should I do these things I find difficult and stress inducing. Why put myself through a degree that I know I will find extremely fulfilling if it will only lead to a couple moments that lead me to this intense disfunction and stress. I guess I need to find a way to cope with the fact that these events will be a constant regardless of what I take on so it shouldn’t stop me from pursuing things. Does anyone else have these feelings of why bother if you’re always going to relapse to fear?
