Loss of internal direction

Hey! Thank you for your reply.

Ive been feeling so much better since my last post to the point that I have days where I am completely anxiety (derealization) free. Youre totally right. From 25 panic attacks a day to one every few days now. I finally went to the mall and shopped for clothes. I completely avoided the mall for over a year. Just want anyone who is going through the same thing - if I can do it (without medications), anyone can.

Loss of internal direction

The answer is there is no answer.
As soon  as we can accept that, you break the cycle. As long as youre searching for an answer(s), anxiety perpetuates.

Loss of internal direction

I am not understanding its connection to anxiety. Ppl with anxiety are not on a search in the future but more afraid of the future because of uncertainty. Originally I was discussing the progress ive made largely in due to avoiding over intellectualizing anxiety which youve done. When you do, you inevitable perpetuate its permanence because youve attributed it to your identity and internalized it. I firmly believe anxiety is curable no matter how severe. It is simply a misfiring of normal biological processes. This tangent about addictions fails to convince me otherwise.
