anxiety

It’s not that you don’t love the people calling you (unless you’re solely receiving spam calls), it’s just that you’d rather be with them. You think that the phone can’t replace seeing their faces, experiencing their presence in all the dimensions currently available to humans. And sometimes (okay, a lot of the time) you just need time to recharge by yourself. Why does that feel so wrong sometimes?

Mental illness is hard. Being a person is hard. Don’t try to do it alone.

I have to go shopping tomorrow and I’m dreading it.

This week, Matt talks about fear. What happens when the worst thing you can imagine happening, actually happens?

Anxiety disorders — PTSD, OCD, and Panic Disorder, to name a few — are the most common mental illnesses in the United States, with about 18% of the population struggling with one. No one wants to be put on blast for their weaknesses or wiring issues. I just wish there was a way to better understand the silent majority — the people who suffer every day.

It's Monday — Boo! But, it's also time for another installment of #MondaysWithMatt — Yeah! 

I started this column about five times over the weekend. It’s now Monday, 8 AM, and I’m starting it for a sixth time.

Day three of “no.”

Let’s get dressed.

No.

Let’s eat breakfast.

No.

Time to get our shoes on!

No.
