“Emotional Resignation” is what it sounds like to me - not denial.

Denial is the refusal to acknowledge reality.
Resignation is to admit feeling hopeless that things will or can change.

Do you feel incapable of moving forward? Of making positive change? I ask because I interpret your episodes of worry or anxiety as your mind’s way of nudging you to decide to remain complacent or to move forward…I think that’s how i view worry/anxiety in general; as our mind’s way of asking us to “do something” to resolve the unknowns that have potential negative consequences to our well-being.

Does that make sense?
