Read Self Expression :: Conflict

Making critical decisions, not understanding the full impact of them, and then being tortured by thoughts that follow you throughout the day and night, can pose a challenge for some of us with anxiety disorder. When your head is on the pillow and you can't get that "What if?" out of your mind, sleep appears to elude you and your despair and worry rises. Worse yet, the moment has arrived to make a decision and you are stagnant, with a million questions, with thoughts about you and others, about the future and the past, you start wondering who or what has brought you to that point in time, but in the end, you usually resign to the decision that hurts the fewest people, or the decision that is best for others, ignoring the voice in your head that begs you to do otherwise.

The kindness we extend others at the expense of our own sanity, while others they take it for granted and draw you down a dark path of ideas. Because of the tension you begin to feel within yourself regarding the decision that is about to be made or has already been made. That is all a part of life, and you and many others may make excellent decisions, terrible decisions, and even those that make no difference at all, but remember that it was YOU who made the decision, and you alone will bear the responsibility of the actions you chose.

Therefore, don't be frightened to make a choice and keep tackling those difficulties with all your power.
