Lately, I've been very in and out of the generalized anxiety/depression. My willingness to take it on has changed, but coping with the "underlying" feelings, such as restlessness, fatigue, generalized anxiety, etc...all are still in the early stages for me. So accepting myself and what I go through can be more challenging then I'm willing to admit. Although I kinda just did admit it, didn't I...?
Anyways, the key to a less stressful future for me seems to be changing my focus, whereas before I worried about every little thing, whether it was substantiated or not, now I challenge those thoughts and it helps me narrow the anxiety playing field down to a more manageable pace.
The point of my ramblin man chatter: How do you manage your thoughts, so as to stay in control? You can only fight so long before you say, "STOP, just gimme a frikken break!".
I try video games, computer, writing, all of the above...but when I have none of those, I'm forced to face myself. This is where things get hard, and my mind wanders into no mans land. This is the area where I'm challenging myself the most right now. Because the more I challenge myself here, the more I experience clarity outside of my home....the more I can control my emotional state of mind.
