The no worrying challenge

If you ever want to talk about it hit me up. I’ve gone through so many different weird experiences with this shit, and have a fair grasp of how the prick works.

I would trade everything to be like this so you are my hero

Good heavens no

For the last few years I’ve tried to live by the mantra of ‘can I affect this situation in any way?’ If the answer is no I tell myself I’m not allowed to stress about it. I find it quite helpful sometimes

I would spend the whole week worrying that I had defined “worrying” too broadly or too narrowly and also about how much I’m worrying about that and that it’s ruining my challenge.

Sorry or surry

I’m from Hampshire so ‘sorry’

Used to have a real problem with this sort of thing. Still do in terms of imagining things that might happen or in some cases already didnt happen - but was definitely having a real bad patch of unwanted intrusive thoughts at one point (bit like the TV series Pure but a bit less than that and somehow the anguish was temporary)

it’s why I listen to podcasts so much I think, I don’t like to be left with my own thoughts for long in case they turn against me

Along with a small bout of unwanted Thursday style thoughts cropping up, one weird one was that any time I tried to listen to music I knew I liked and wanted to listen to, my head would go “nah this is shit, why is this good?” (weird thing to stress about, I know) so yeah, my podcast subscriptions went up that year
