Biggest fear right now, getting slapped by a monkey. He is roaming in the neighborhood and I threw mangoes at him
. He ate it, but he went into someone’s house, threw stuff here and there. It’s rare to see a monkey in an urban district of Delhi
I have struggled with this mentality too . It was more in 2022 , I was immature and silly enough to think a couple of failures have ended it all and I won’t be good enough . I was in fear for a long time and worse things happened due to that fear for months , and I blamed everything to it , eventually killed my self esteem and never was the person as before .
Looking back now , I all feels funny also that I made the 285 days streak just living in sheer fear and anxiety . That fear factor has been with me ever since , starting from 2023 , everytime I went 20 - 30 days was either due to a health issue or feeling like shit for weeks straight , and as soon as things felt better I relapsed again .
Even today , I am afraid of this loop . My overthinking inflates that fear into loads of negative thoughts and painful memories from past . All of this a direct result of weak mindset and overthinking .
I did understand about this and practiced getting out of this mentality , staying strong and happy but never lasted long because everytime I eventually had a relapse / stressing or emotional personal exp and started to think myself as a failure again .
I am always fearing that I will lose my will to fight this addiction. If helplessness comes, it will be terrible. I have had periods of it and they are frightening. I have to constantly tell myself every day that I will find a solution to this seemingly unending problem.
As an analytical thinker, I am always trying to find practical solutions to my problems, so after trying many solutions for many years, I can feel conquered by not being able to solve the problem.
As soon as I become helpless and do not care about my situation anymore, I know that I will have truly lost the war. I have not gotten to that point yet, and I pray that i never will. I know the solution is out there, I just have not found it yet.
