One morning some months ago for work I had to drive into central Birmingham. On my way, I stopped off for an early morning coffee, and when starting again, my Sat Nav was telling me I had 38 miles to go, a journey that was to take me 2 hours at an average speed of just 19 miles an hour. A journey that just made me feel frustrated and fed up as I consider it to be a waste of time. I didn’t encounter any road works or accidents (thankfully) and so it was I assume simply the volume of traffic. And driving and travelling is again something else I will probably cover in some depth as time goes by.
The thing is sitting in the car driving very slowly for two hours it gets you thinking, and I wondered how many people around me did this every, or most of their working days, morning and night, and it also made me think it is something I could never do, admittedly some people use the time to work, something I will write about later, but I couldn’t do it. I have mentioned that I drive for work but if my job started taking me into the major cities regularly I would give it all up and I wouldn’t do it because I couldn’t do it. Fair play to those who do I say!
What I would like to add to this is when I talk about anxiety and the different levels and the peaks and troughs that I experience. This type of situation to me can be so frustrating that I call it a ‘waste of time’ and ‘a waste of part of my life,’ just sitting there not doing anything and wasting precious time, if I or you were to let it, for me this is just the type of thing that can make you feel worse, raise the anxiety levels, or maybe even set them off again.
Fortunately, even with my underlying issues it didn’t happen, but it could maybe happen to someone who suffers. From experience, it doesn’t take much to tip us over the edge and into the abyss.
Anxiety is prominent in today's society, we hear it mentioned more and more, probably with more people suffering from the condition with the COVID pandemic amongst us. I suffered and suffered quite badly and I wanted to put my story and my experiences out there for the world to read, and so to do that I created this site (at least Dan did)! It also allows me to follow my love of writing. I hope I can help someone, and I hope you can enjoy reading my posts. Thank you
