Why You thealphadrive.com/blog/f/why-you… Your anxiety isn’t a malfunction. It may not even be about any particular thing. It can be what it feels like when your brain’s drive to act has nowhere to go - full power, no traction. Why “nothing is wrong” and you’re still anxious.

The Most Dangerous Feeling in the World Is I Can Actually Do This thealphadrive.com/blog/f/the-mos… via @humanalphadrive The feeling of “I can actually do this” isn’t evidence you should. It’s just evidence you can and it feels good - but your brain can’t tell the two apart.

I built this theory over 20 years as a clinical social worker. Then I watched it operate on me in real time when my husband got a brain tumor. Just because you understand the mechanism doesn’t mean it stops running. You can see it though. Sometimes, that’s enough.
