i saw this article by Ronnie de Sousa the other day about moral philosophy and he made some points about how guilt really doesn't serve a purpose that isn't already served by caring about stuff. its like you are counting things twice. and it really gave me a perspective that is helpful for anxiety because im usually anxious because of some kind of shame or guilt. assuming people dont like me, thinking i am annoying and secretly putting people out. im aware its not reasonable but for whatever reason i grew up feeling so unsure of myself that now that i have every reason to be confident theres guilt and shame making me panic. its exhausting which exacerbates the problem. its on aeon, i think if you google his name you could find it idk it helped me a bit. im sorry you are having a tough time i hope you know you don't really deserve it, the feeling of knowing one thing and feeling another is what makes it so painful i think so, you are going to be ok and its ok that you aren't right now.

@arete That's honestly a really nice way to think about it. I'll definitely look him up. The dissonance of knowing it's wrong but not being able to stop the sense of panic from it really is a mood. Thank you ☺️. You're words are truly appreciated and I wish you the best in overcoming this in time as well. My inbox is always open if you need to vent by the way.
