Something I noticed about anxiety

I'm so used to being numb to my feelings and ignoring them. I now have to face them and it's really tough. One such emotion is anxiety. Normally I would drink or be in a hangover state so I wouldn't have to feel my anxiety.

But when thinking about my anxiety and what is causing it. Maybe it's like ignoring higher priority things when I know I should be doing that. And once I recognized the anxiety and cause.

I actually started to feel better and I could relax again. I really want to try this more as time goes on.
