5. When My Anxiety Felt Like A Failure: The Anxious Morning Jan 7, 2022

Fear is hard for everyone. I was certainly afraid.  I’m totally OK telling you that.  In fact, I was afraid all the damn time if I’m being honest. But really, the worst part was not the fear. It was that feeling of passive failure.  And the worst part of the worst part was that for a long time I would respond to the feeling of passive failure with more passivity.  I would sit and think about it, ruminate on it, hate it, and get more and more upset with myself. I would go over all the ways I could fix it, but that was only happening in my head while I continued to sit on the sofa. Then my passive failure to fix my passive failure problem made me feel even worse.  

These were the moments when feeling like I was failing became feeling like a failure. Those were not good moments.
