Hypervigilance

who else has the type of anxiety that tells you that, if you stay hypervigilant & informed & if you, in detail, imagine every possible bad outcome, you will thereby ward off harm to yourself & your whole community like some kind of powerful, jumpy magician & how are you doing

I am understanding that I have lived for the last 30 years like this.

I am figuring out a lot about that. I’ve worked extremely hard to get out of this mindset. It requires patience, practice, and kindness to yourself.

I’m trying, Ringo. I’m trying real hard.

And that the best I can do. The rest will be.
