Constant Fear of what the future holds?
    #10302147 -

How can one slip, so unknowingly, into a routine where they find theirself daily, pondering the negative things that could happen in the future, versus, the good things that can happen in the future?

i.e. Fear of losing job, fear of the inevitable, fear of losing home, etc.

Example: I have been fearing losing my job for more than a year now, and it seems every day, that the time is coming sooner and sooner, yet, if I had not worried at all for the past year, I would have been much happier for that entire year.

I don't know what to do. My heart is full of apprehension and anxiety when I'm perfectly fine.

I get this a lot too, IME it's the simple daily routines that keep you afloat - eating right, sleeping right, and getting plenty of sunshine and time to commune with nature. You don't make the connection naturally - you miss a couple meals, don't get enough sleep for a couple nights, or stay inside too long, and suddenly you're terribly afraid of what the future may hold, what others think about you, et cetera. You're not really afraid of the thing(s) that made you afraid in the first place.

It may seem like too simple a solution to a problem that feels so gnawing and pervasive, but I'm a pretty anxious fellow too, and I generally find that adherence to those daily routines carries a VERY strong correlation with how reasonably I'm able to deal with uncertainty and anxiety. It doesn't wipe out your anxiety (for that you'd probably need benzodiazepines since anxiety is an important part of human emotion), but it puts it in its proper place.

Is this why I forget the rest of the world when I got camping/fishing for the weekend?

Hell yeah man. Trips like that keep you sane. I used to spend 90% of my freetime inside smoking pot, jerking off, playing video games, watching TV, and posting on the Shroomery, and wouldn't you know it after a couple years of that I was an anxious wreck.

It doesn't have to be whole camping trips; whenever you have a spare afternoon, go for a hike through your local park. Take your buddies and a couple brews along. Or don't. It's the adventure that matters, and making sure it's a regular thing. The inner peace fostered by these experiences tends to stick around even on off days, and the more you do it the better it gets.
