I had plans to write about something different today. I even started on the post where I talk about my career change, moving to Canada, and how all that led me to web development, but I'm feeling a little anxious, and my first advice to destress is to - PUT IT OUT THERE! -.
Anxiety feeds on itself, and other thoughts. The more we let it locked inside our heads, the faster and bigger it grows. So, PUT IT OUT THERE! Either on a post here on dev.to, over the phone with a friend, or however you feel comfortable doing it.
For me, in particular, I rather seek guidance, advice or a kind response in people I don't really know that well, over family or close friends. You may find that weird, but that's the only way I don't feel judge. When I'm anxious, the sightless condescending tone puts me in defensive mode. Especially if it's from a person I love or care. To my relief, I don't feel the same about co-works or I would be F****. hahaha!
Se I'm even laughing by the end. Feeling lighter already! Thank you, whoever you are!
I saw the link for this post on Twitter and that's what motived me to right

One of my favorite quotes by Donald Glover is "If you're not scared, you're not doing anything important."
I personally journal and write poetry a lot to overcome anxiety and trauma, I am glad you found a system that works for you!
