Dear Adam:

You left a job that was destroying you- you did the right thing. Now that anxiety is hurting you, you have a new challenge. And there will be more. Try best you can to take one day at a time. When anxious, take one hour at a time. When anxious it is not the time to figure out what to do with your life.

Go to Thailand, take a break from the distress you experienced for a long time: the job and the aftermath of quitting. Take the vacation you need and well deserve. Get lost in the unfamiliar and the unknown awaiting for you there.

Post before or when you are back from Thailand, will you?

Dear Adam:

You are welcome. Thinking more and more will not resolve your anxiety. When anxious, distressed, the brain is foggy and you can’t see through the fog. Being relaxed will clear the fog. I hope that your trip to Thailand will clear that fog and allow you the clarity needed to think. Postpone thinking about your life plans (other than paying your current bills) until later, after the trip (or during the trip) when you are calm.
