I have been going through the stressy-est time of my life, actually.
I've always had anxiety issues, but things are super crazy. I've come some huge hurdles to overcome in the immediate future, and I'm having a hard time being confident and just getting through it all.
I feel that no matter how confident I get or how close I get to overcoming my stressors, I get drawn back to one thought:
"You can't trust anything."
Like, people say the definition of insanity is "Doing the same thing over and expecting a different result." But, in my life, it seems like no matter how many times you do something you can't predict the outcome.
A coin will never land on its head every single time.
A football player won't always make the field goal.
A singer won't always sing the right notes.
You can practice, and make the odds better, but you can never Predict tomorrow or know the unexpected.
I am terrified of the unexpected.
I hear people say "Be confident! Imagine yourself overcoming your obstacles and you will!" But I can't imagine that, or vision it, because it could go either way.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. How do you overcome or deal with this issue? What is to be done with the unexpected? Can you recommend any fiction or non-fiction stories/shows/anything that helped you with this?
Many thanks.
