What's Important?

JT

Do you find your brain struggles to prioritise what's important from non-essential things?

My brain seems to be unable to distinguish between what's ok to what's a problem, it just views it all as a problem. I don't just mean like paying a bill or something, I mean everything, like all need stories. I view a wildfire in LA as frightening as an incoming tidal wave to the coast where I live, the same as a dose of cold/flu that I contract

Fear of everything is so unhealthy

  • Thanks for the responses all.

    Reason and logic are all sound in me, however, it's my unconscious mind that's doing all the work against me

    If reason and logic don't help, and you're worrying constantly to the point it impacts your every day life maybe it could be an Anxiety Disorder. I don't know the details of diagnostic criteria, but I do know it's something a lot of autistic people get and that the NHS can help with.

    I'm not saying it definitely is, but might be something you could raise with your doctor?

    I hate when my subconscious starts sabotaging me. I often stress about things I know I shouldn't. It's not logical! I have mitigating strategies that work for me a lot of the time, but not always.

    Good luck with finding ways to cope
