« Shyness: The New Solution | Main | Imprisoned By Anxiety »

Status for Nov. 20-26
My anxiety was a 3 (on a scale from 0-5) and avoidance a 2. Other than one day where my number were 1 and 1, I have felt more anxious than usual this week. This may have to do with seeing more people than usual, traveling for Thanksgiving, or a stress about a situation with an old girlfriend.
The anxiety I'm feeling may also be from anxiety being in the forefront of my mind. I think about being anxious more than normal. It's ironic how trying to make anxiety better requires you to think about anxiety and how thinking about anxiety can make you more anxious. This reminds me of something Zen, trying to hold and unhold something at the same time. It depresses me that I don't know if I'll ever understand the anxiety koan.
