Anxiety allover the place

It is nice to be prepared for the the worse, in case something happens.. but I hate how I always assume something bad is going to happen, something will go wrong, with and without a reason. I am not sure why I am always so pessimistic.. thinking, it is not possible that everything will go well .. I literally look for what is going to go wrong, and if I cannot find something, I make up something...

This is LITERALLY my brain, me; what could possibly go wrong, just casually wondering.. my brain: Excellent question!

I don't know if you've seen this quote in the 'about me' field in my profile but I think it's worth repeating here in response to your question. They are the words of Fyodor Dostoevsky , someone who knew a thing or two about the human condition.

"Don’t be overwise; fling yourself straight into life, without deliberation; don’t be afraid - the flood will bear you to the bank and set you safe on your feet again."

Remember Gaga , fear is your enemy.

@LegendofPeza I like the writing of Dostoevsky, can't claim I read for him much, but I liked the excerpts I came across, and nope, I did not see this quote in your profile ... I love it.. if I am ever able to live as such, I think I may even be able to reach places I never knew existed. I wish I have such courage, I've always wished I could just be spontaneous, try and fail... I have to say being to cautious or even too afraid is one of my greatest weaknesses.

@BittersweetPotato Well my honest expectation is that once you have experienced what a new world has to offer you , and you are freed from the baggage of the past , you will wonder only why you never did it earlier.

@LegendofPeza I have a similar feeling inside.. but I always put myself down whenever I think anything positive lol.. but I feel that regardless of all the challenges, life will be more beautiful .. starting from little things like beautiful nature which I've never experienced in my life, and ending with bigger things like feeling more secure and comfortable with my beliefs and being surrounded by like minded people .. I think having to hide and pretend for long has taken a big toll on my mental health... Being able to get rid of past baggage isn't an easy task though, as a matter of fact, I feel some things will ALWAYS remain at the back of my head, because they have been engraved in my brain since childhood.
