 Immunity to anxiety and fear comes with acceptance.

Sometimes it takes traveling to the deepest depths of despair to finally see the truth.
I have long argued that the only way to truly get over anxiety is by facing it and pushing what you are uncomfortable with.
Pain and discomfort are the only things that truly make us stronger.
It is said that at the center of every universe exists a black hole, an inevitable end on the largest scale our minds can imagine.
This and every other universe has an inevitable fate of destruction, like a tiny piece of shit flowing down the drain of a toilet only to be swallowed up by the blackness of a sewer.
Realizations like this are scary.
It is easier to not think about things like this, existential dread is enough to ruin anyone's day, ignorance is bliss.
Benzos are cheap and extremely effective, they have their place, but I have always been of the belief that they are more of an effective treatment than a permanent solution
The only way you can ever know true peace is through acceptance of things, big and small.
The 5 stages of grief
denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.
I think whenever a person is going through any kind of grief they are essentially experiencing this formula, from a teenage heartbreak to the loss of someone really close to you.
I had really horrible skin when a teenager and in many ways it was the same thing. I only was able to get over it by pushing myself little by little.
My great grandmother had 13 children and a gambling addicted husband, she went to her grave with her drug addict middle age children robbing her blind.
A tragic and supremely dysfunctional life in many ways, at her funeral I broke down thinking about it.
BUT, there is great comfort in knowing that someone who knew so much pain in life in so many ways is free of all of it when they pass on.
It is very self important of us to think that our lives are that serious in the grand scheme of things.
Enjoy your life, have many/meaningful lovers, push what your are comfortable with, eat good food, have fun, be merry.

In light of Dr. Gonzo proclaiming "I got the fear!" in a novel one might agree that acceptance itself is unable to conquer that adversary. OK so someone has never been accosted by that dreadful occasion and can preach good tidings, all's well and good as the Ringmaster displays his next event.

Sorry about your grandmother, honestly though it doesn't sound like a particularly tragic life just a normal life. We all go through horrible things and get screwed over. I'd say it'd be tragic if she lost like 5 of her kids, having that many children is just pushing your luck.
