  • I'm an artist and have made a career out if this. Which is obviously the good side of it

    The bad side of it is, it's hard to turn off; so your mind tends to disassociate in all situations that feel uncomfortable, often taking you to horrible places, propelled by fear.

    The only remedy I've found is to meditate daily, practice mindfulness to try and stay present, and to ensure I schedule time to work and time to exercise. Turning off the obsessive part of the brain is the important part for me
