But later that night, there was a feeling of doom that something bad would happen. That feeling sucks. Even when I felt that something bad would happen, nothing bad really happened so it really shows me that anxiety is an illusion. Anxiety gives the illusion of doom and terror but it is really just a feeling.

My anxiety goes up and down. I wish I could manage it properly but things seem to get in the way. I think talking to someone may help. But don’t feel alone because I have experienced this on many occasions.
thanks for sharing your experience with this <3 yes, that particular experience is relatable--I'll be having a great time with friends and walk home all happy, but once I get home the worries begin. and your point about anxiety being an illusion sticks out to me because it definitely makes me doubt my emotional responses.

echoing your comment that I/we shouldn't feel alone in this. I'm not sure how to manage the anxiety either to be honest. but it's nice to remember I'm not the only one out there!
