When people are less knowledgeable in the area of anxiety and clinical depression than I expect, I usually say, “If it were a toggle switch, I would have turned it off a LONG time ago”.
I have incessant worry. I get so excited when I don’t have something to worry about – I realize it and say to myself, “Oh my word, I’m happy right now!” (But I’m usually pretty good at cooking up some type of worry.) Thankfully, I have a handful of friends who realize this, and I call/email each of them with my worry. They all say, “screw that” in one way or the other, and my worry will usually slowly fade away. Incessant. Toggle Switch.
Pay it Forward
