I've been fighting a lifelong battle with anxiety, but find it keeps shifting forms as I get older. First, I fought crippling social anxiety that made forming relationships of any kind difficult. Then, it shifted to performance anxiety around work and often manifested as insomnia. Now, I seem to be over the first two, but I'm dealing with something trickier - a deep existential fear. It seems to be a feeling that there's not much excitement or discovery left to be found in my life, and the passing of time gives me a feeling of dread. I'm stuck thinking about the bigger picture and it's so hard to manage.
Has anyone else experienced this?
