Hey, there @deathbatter! This is a great post! Again! :) I've read most of your posts, but haven't commented yet :) I guess I know the feeling of being anxious. I've been an anxious child and an anxious teenager. For example, I had constant painful headaches since I was 6. Now, I know it was somehow connected to anxiety. I think this "sensation" (as you called it) brought me to Psychology in the first place. What really helped me was my training in Cognitive-Behavior Therapy. CBT has a great approach to anxiety. Rationalising my fears and worries was very helpful for me. Talking about my worries made them seem much smaller than I imagined them in my head. I think CBT (or getting older and wiser :D) helped me extend my level of tolerance to anxiety. Now I am "the most stable" one in the "insight-out" family :)
As far as "whether-I-have-fulfilled-my-full-potential" is concerned - I think I would never be able to get rid of this one :/ It will probably eat me alive :)

Thanks for the support! Inever really considered therapy purely due to time and finances but it’s certainly an avenue I’d take in the future if the need ever occurred. Most my anxiety comes from smaller things than world ending concerns. They’re always just big enough that they could potentially warrant concern and yet not quite so big that i can easily write them off as irrational. I like to think that i keep the lid on for the most part though
