This is oversimplified, anxiety isn’t just about social situations. My anxiety is none of these but comes from an overwhelming awareness of my own mortality.
I don’t feel like I’m going to die today or tomorrow, but the knowledge that I will die one day and wipe out all memory of me as I am now is permanently terrifying to me. I really believe that almost everyone else has some part of their brain to suppress this fact, that I am missing.

- bspammer 6y agoIs your point that there is no such thing as "me"? Because I've tried meditating on that thought and it hasn't really helped. I think, therefore I am after all.
- nunodonato 6y agoYou can't meditate on that thought. Keep the search :)
- bspammer 6y agoI appreciate that you’re trying to help, but I’ve been searching for a long time and it only makes me feel worse.
