"As you make your way through the wilderness that is your life, you might encounter a Fireball of Anxiety that swirls in shades of
As you feel the heat of this Fireball, your chest becomes heavy, your skin pricks with sweat, your face flushes, and your hands shake. Behold, the Fireball of Anxiety It is okay to live with a little bit of worry, but too much can whirl a Fireball into your heart and mind, leaving you unable to focus on anything. Here are some of the reasons why you might identify anxiety in your own experiences:
Anxiety's flames can hypnotize and trick you into believing you can see the future. You really start to believe that if you keep vigilant and anticipate every aspect of the road ahead, you will never have to suffer negative consequences. You have it all mapped out, you have the equipment, you have even rested for it — you have it covered. This, of course, is an illusion. No matter how hard you prepare, there are bound to be unexpected turns in the road of life — for the good as much as the bad — and this uncertainty fuels your Fireball of Anxiety."

For example, do they sometimes stare into the distance, as if they have ‘checked out’? Or do they suddenly explode in anger over what may seem to you a ‘small’ thing? 61% of the Male Labeled in the US report at least one traumatic experience, and that number is likely to be much higher if that person has also suffered from racism, transphobia, biphobia, or homophobia. Beyond the Blue is a Survival Guide for the Male Labeled, and it highlights some of the ways that people can identify symptoms of trauma, and get the right kind of professional help.

If it were to approach, you would not notice until it landed heavily on your shoulders, until it dragged you down with a solid sense of hopelessness. By the time you feel this weight, it is too late to escape. Your energy, your enthusiasm, and your sense of direction are already being devoured from within. Enter the Beast The Beast of Depression is multifaceted and a changeling because it adopts many different forms for different people. For some, the Beast might appear in the form of elongated tears, pining and longing, while others experience short, intense bursts of anger and irritability. Problems arise when people expect the tears but miss the other signs. Can you recognize the multifaceted Beast of Depression in any of these guises? The over-sleeping fatigue of an excessive bed-dweller The stooped head of an over-worker The dead-eyed smile of the dark-hearted laugher The gorging mess of an over-eater The fire and flash of the explosive aggressor The deadpan indifference of the flat, numbed-out non-feeler The disappearing act of the isolator."
