Letting anxiety control my life for so long.
Marrying the wrong person because I didn’t want to be alone.
Not going into the game industry. I was too afraid of the horror stories at the time, so ignored my passion.
- koonsolo 4y agoWhy can't you still try to get into the game industry?
- nvarsj 4y agoGood question. I guess I have made some assumptions about it that I still hold onto. Like, it will be less pay with longer hours. Not really in a great spot right now to career switch either.
- throwaway5959 4y agoHow’d you get a handle on your anxiety if you don’t mind me asking?
- nvarsj 4y agoTherapy - if only to get me analyzing it rather than letting it control my life. It's still there, and it's still a struggle. I've learned to mostly accept it as just how my brains works. I can recognize when it's causing me to make the wrong choice, and override that. Long walks really help when it's bad.
- throwaway5959 4y agoThank you. I feel like we’re getting there together at roughly the same time wrt accepting how our brain works and how helpful long walks are.
