I loosely follow a number of wellness, health, inspiration, dating coaches and the subject they all regularly address:
Anxiety.

I never get that?
I have little to no anxiety so I cannot relate to it at all.
It only makes me wonder, "What the heck are people busy with?"
Anxiety is unhealthy, doesn't gel with happiness and love in life.

Now I have one big advantage over many others my age: I don't work.
That means I am far away from the ratrace that most people are stuck in 5 days a week.

What does strike me as odd, although it can be coincidence:
All bar one of these coaches are American. And the exception lives and works in LA and his clientele is mostly American.

Would that mean that Americans have more anxiety than other people?
I don't know.
Could be that America has more well-known coaches (that I happen to follow) and thus it appears that way.

Then again, watching movies & series, these do tell that many Americans struggle financially, especially when younger, to make ends meet, pay there schooling fees or those of their children. Often ending up having to work 2-3 jobs at the same time.

Gregg Braden, scientist & inspirational speaker, had a situation like that growing up. Dysfunctional family, father left, mother couldn't make ends meet, so as a young teenager he had to work in a factory while he was also going to school.
That is unheard of in The Netherlands.
We have quite the solid welfare system that would help such a family out so kids wouldn't have to work and sleep in the classroom.

In that sense I do think the US has more reason for people to have anxiety.


What do you think?
Do you come across a lot of anxiety in your environment, or maybe you yourself?
Are people quite stressed out where you live?
For me, whenever I see the next workshop or course on offer about anxiety it's "NEXT!!"
Not interested.
But it is sad that there obviously is a big market for that.
Says enough of how the masses live their lives, and that is truly sad.

Anxiety can take up a big portion of a persons life,
there are no limits.

I do not suffer from it much, any more, as you age
it is easy to see that you can extend that
suffering exponentially by dwelling on it..for
a long time.

Now I wait, let life unfold before I start to
stress, most times it evens itself out.

I can see a big pharma presence for such a non-
specific illness, one has only to say they have it.

Though it is real, I find it manageable.

It is indeed real, unfortunately woven into western life-style.
I too think, actually am certain, it is instigated by the ones in power, of which big pharma is a major part.
When people are stressed they're more prone to experiencing fear, mostly fear of lack.

But this fear can very easily sky-rocket in certain situations.
Just take the pandemic. Almost everyone got a shot and no one knows what they were injected with. Nor did they care at the time.
They were driven by fear of death.
Although the virus may have been real, I strongly feel it was a construed event.
Maybe an experiment that got out of hand, but I doubt that.
Maybe more a test to see how far people are willing to go when you push the right buttons.
Since this whole AI thing is another scheme, and now it's clear people are willing to have whatever put in their bodies when they fear for their life.
They would've agreed with chips and whatnot if that could've saved them from the alleged disease.

But in any case, back to anxiety... it is a strange thing.
Even I am not 100% free of it while I am not an active part of society since I don't work, have a small social circle and low budget so I rarely go places.

Hey there guys!
Again just here to educate and inform to the best of my abilities not to belittle or berrate. But I heard the term anxiety and it came down to what I feared.. the term being thrown around almost as an analogy to worry.
Allow me to explain anxiety is a clinical term like depression. See you're allowed to be sad .. let's say your dog died you're upset, you're not in depression or to rephrase you don't have major depressive disorder. You need to fall into a certain criteria of symptoms for a certain duration of time with a certain threshold for each individual factor .. then only do we label stuff in terms of disorders.. in this instance Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
So while logic dictates not thinking about it or growing out of it or people making a big fuss over nothing sounds okay .. it's really not. Think of it this way they're not worried for xyz cause they are worried because they are sick. And again I need to stress not every form of anxiety needs to be treated with medication.. sometimes therapy is the only backbone we rely on. But to call it a big pharma conspiracy would be crippling an already disabled understanding of mental illness in our society.
Thankyou for understanding.

Sometimes I think it can build up, I have seen people that seem to be fine for a long time and then one day they just freeze up or break down from what ever you want to call it. It does not even have to be anything big, like they say 'The straw that broke the camel's back' type of thing. That is the one I would worry about...if I worried...lol
