Hey all,
This is my first actual post, so apologies if this has been talked about before. I tried searching for results but could not find anything on this forums.
I would like to try and avoid a big wall of text, but I'll introduce myself first since I haven't done so yet (mostly just lurked these past few months). I'm an aviation student currently working on my commercial pilot licence, and besides studying for that, I found I lacked any real interests or ambitions. However, I read millionaires fastlane in the beginning of 2023, and have found my lifestyle has completely changed from just letting time pass to wanting to maximize my time and efforts into something useful. Regardless if anything happens from it, I am glad to say I have begun coding for an idea I had after reading fastlane and unscripted. Despite the days where I want to pull my hairs out, it feels good to solve issues and generally improve on a skill that I had doubts on before starting. So thank you (both MJ demarco and the rest of this forum) for that!
But the main reason I made this post was to see how you guys handle anxiety and stress. These past few weeks have been very tough. Near the end of February, my car from my last service did not have its hood latch properly set by the mechanic, and the next day while driving my hood flew up and destroyed my windshield,fenders, and a little bit of me (and my wallet), along with leaving a huge hassle of insurance calls, appointments, etc. While still having to deal with this, I also had an accident in the shower which resulted in a shattered neck last Saturday. Because of this, I found a lot of my habits (coding, studying, general self improvement) have begun to go out the window, and what has replaced it is nothing but gloomy anxiety and fear for the future. This is less of a rant about how tough things are, as I am recovering quickly and there doesn't seem to be any long term problems, so I have to consider the positive aspects in all of this. However, it has put not only a stall on my newfound entrepreneur project, but in my daily life, as I've begun to fear driving, flying and other irrational ideas. I really want to beat this funk, so I've begun reading books on how to deal with anxiety and stress,along with reaching out to therapy, but I figured asking on here would be a good idea too!
Sorry again for the long post, I hope I put it in the proper topic and all! Apologies if there are any issues with my post! Thanks again for reading!
