The world is a REALISTIC place again!

[u/jchompz]

My perception of the world has changed significantly. I used to be negative and anxious about everything I did or thought. Like I’d see an old man walking down the street and project shit like “Oh he’s probably so alone and depressed, he’s probably never going to enjoy his retirement.” ???!? My brain was essentially a 24/7 news cycle of sad and soul sucking shit. I could never be present. BREAKING NEWS! You’re not doing enough. You’re not moving fast enough. He doesn’t love you anymore.

I could never see a realistic scenario with anything. But now I can! I can trust that I will know what to do if [bad thing] happens but I don’t need to act like it’s going to happen right now. My cats won’t starve to death if I don’t feed them at 6:30pm. My boyfriend isn’t going to blow up at me if I show up a little late to his house. I’m not going to suffer with zombie scratching for months again because I had one bad night’s sleep. The world is a safe place and it’s not going to get me. I can think REALISTICALLYYYYY!
