I am a husband, writer, and teacher exploring what it means to cultivate mental silence.

Still Anxious...I think so.

Still Anxious...I think so.Short post this week. Just got some very sad news about someone I care for deeply so it's kind of hard to think about myself right now.A few days ago I decided to stop taking the natural supplement that has been helping me combat stress and anxiety. So far...things have gone well. I have not experienced any drastic changes within me. I've gone to work and felt the same (if not lower) levels of the same stress and anxiety I was experiencing before I stopped using the supplement. My unscientific evaluation of this is that I must be coming out of the depression I've been in...on some level. Do I still get anxious going to work, unfortunately yes.Another metric I use when determining my health, heart beats pretty minute, has been in the mid to high 70's during the work day for almost 2 weeks. I'm either getting better or becoming numb to it all.

I'm getting there...I think.
