The simpsons did it <| sep |> Great info ! Thanks ! Wanted to know about the firmware for CFW purposes too . <| sep |> Don ' t tell me what to play and where . <| sep |> Hey ! I am someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder GAD , which is the most common anxiety disorder and what people commonlyprobably mean when they say crippling anxiety . Anxiety isn ' t always a bad thing it ' s actually useful to help up prepare for something important , keeping up aware , alert , and especially responsive . This is why we feel anxious in varied places and situations , whether it be a dark park late at night or right before an exam . This is because there are two systems that regulate us in situations like these The sympathetic system , which is what activates and alerts us , and the parasympathetic system that mellows and cools us down after the sympathetic system is activated . The problem starts when , in the case for GAD , these feelings of uneasiness , worry , nervousness show up when there isn ' t a reason for them to show . GAD is a constant activation of the sympathetic system , which is draining . Imagine those same feelings before an exam , but for no reason or threat . The problem is that these thoughts are extremely pervasive for someone with an anxiety disorder and powerful enough to warp the perception of a situation . For example , while you ask yourself what ' s the worst that could happen ? and are able to rationalize through it yourself , someone with anxiety who asks themselves the same question could try and rationalize it like you do , but as a function of the disorder , instead focus entirely too much on preparing only for the worst or the very unlikely , further enhancing their anxiety until they just burn out . Anxiety isn ' t only mental , it also is physical , and people who experience anxiety also report sweating , dizziness , and many other symptoms , which only uses up even more resources . To answer your questions Yes , our anxiety is different . It takes up our resources , both cognitive and physical , at a way higher rate . By the time you were able to overcome your situation , we are already drained by everything that hasn ' t happened yet . For me , it ' s very disheartening and frustrating . I hate being cheated out of something I know I ' m capable of because of anxiety , and while I try to push through it like you do , I always fail against it . Anxiety is a state of being , considering that it involves a serious , constant arousal of the sympathetic system I mentioned earlier . But it is also a really complex disorder , and how I experience GAD may be far different from how others do as well . I really do encourage reading more about the disorder , and anything psychology related , really . I ' m a psych major so I ' m biased , but the subject is still super cool lol . I hope this helped !
