Until recently, I was. Every day before going to work I had anxiety. My workplace was extremly toxic, people talking behind each others back etc. I got home and instead of hanging out with my gf and 6 months baby I escaped into video games, or news. For some reason, I blamed my family for my shitty life, and where mean to my gf. I used to read a lot of books and be interested in a lot of stuff before, but the recent years all I have had energy for has been to browse my normal time killing websites. In my mind, the reason for this was that I was getting older (just turned 35). Anyway, a while ago I got a "moment of clarity" that I just had to change my current path or give up completely and start drinking or something. I quit my job without having a new job. The first week after quitting nothing changed really, but week 2 then things really started to happen. The heavy anxiety in my stomach dissapeared. This in turn enabled me to do more stuff. Another thing I did was deleting my Facebook account. I have been wanting to do that for years, but I have always resisted since I would then lose my way of communicating with a lot of "friends". Anyway, after a few days of that, I somehow felt that my head felt clearer. I was no longer filled with other peoples bullshit thoughts. Inspired by this, I stopped reading newspapers online and started buying paper versions instead. That also had a positive impact on me. My relationship with my family got sooooo much better. I started to having long conversation with my gf, something I realized I had barely had for a lot of time. Also, I started to feel all these feelings when being with my kid, and I am so happy that I now can be in the moment with her. In two weeks I will start my new job. I don't know how it will be, but I know that if it sucks, I will talk about it with my gf instead of escaping into the internet.
