"Something deeply troubling"

Covert Anxiety

Published on August 24, 2004 By Wade Helquist In Health & Medicine

"Obsessions serve to bind anxiety, to contain fears, and to keep us distracted. It distracts us from something more deeply troubling inside us. An obsessive person may be plagued by frequently recurring thoughts. These thoughts can overpower one's life by their sheer pervasiveness, deluging one’s mind many times in an hour or even in a few minutes."
Obsession

Wow I realized that obsession was to cover up anxiety and that you felt better when you did things or obsessive things. I just didn't realize that my anxiety had to have a face to it. That their actually had to be something "deeply troubling inside" me. Something I was distracting myself from.

This is a huge! How much do we hide from ourselves. Do we put of thinking about because we don't want to deal with it!
