    Curiosity keeps me sane. I think it's the enemy of anxiety. Even when the anxiety feels like everything if I get into something deep enough it can pull me out. Music, art, film, words, whatever. Find a passion as large as your fear. The way out of your mind is via the world.

        That’s a nice well spoken and lyrical piece of writing, however mental illnesses when full blown cannot be thought away by reading or having passion or learning things. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not talking about Schizoaffective, Borderlinne, Bipolar...

        No, talking about anxiety per se and my own experience of GAD and panic disorder. In deep panic if I could distract my mind and get 1% curious about anything outside of me, it lessened the panic.

        Yes! When depression hits what I lose is curiosity and playfulness.
