I give myself unnecessary anxiety?

I'm a geek who loves franchises like Star Wars and Mortal Kombat. I've been trying to come up with a MK fanfiction that set in its own timeline. I have a hard time coming up with stories though and I already struggle with anxiety. Should I maybe try not to do the fanfic idea as much?

Are you saying that trying to come up with the fanfic is giving you more anxiety? As someone who's suffered from bad anxiety since I was 16 years old, I find creative projects really helpful, but I'll read a familiar book, or watch a familiar show before going to sleep, to get to a safe place in my head. Working on creative projects is calming throughout the day though, because I get to connect with myself through them.
