You said that it sounds like I have a lot of built up creative energy. I'm not really an artist and I don't think I can write well. I would be interesting in maybe learning though. Any tips on how to start expending creative energy during moments of high anxiety?
everyone is different. it could actually be a wide range of things depending on who you are. i just threw some out there as guesses, but i have no idea if those things would be a good fit. basically it seems like you need to take on an activity or project of some kind. something to occupy your mind. maybe learning about something. maybe games. i really don't know specifically what is going to be the right thing for you. for me, writing and creating stuff, and saving it, is an easy way to make constructive use of mental restlessness
