The temptations only seem to come when I’m anxious.

This is something I’ve noticed; If I’m feeling some sort of anxiety, the temptations are at their hardest to fight.

For example, last night I accidentally dropped my phone in water. It’s working fine, but eventually I found out I didn’t take the right precautions and that water damage can kill the phone later on. So now I’ve had a little anxiety all day, because if my phone breaks I won’t be able to get a replacement. Which limits my ability to talk with my crush, the chiefest of things I’m anxious about regarding this.

This is relevant because hovering with this anxiety is a looming temptation to either think about something P related or to peek. If I were to guess what my brain is doing, it’s trying to give me ideas to boost my dopamine since I’m currently anxious.

Is there anything I can do about this? When I get nervous like I am now, it becomes immensely hard to focus on anything. The fact that only time will confirm if my phone will be fine makes it so it’s really impossible to calm down over this until enough days have passed where I either forget about it, or realize it’s fine.
