they told me to wait but there's no certainty when they'll give me answer. I feel anxious because expecting an answer everyday but then they still don't reply to my question. 🙁How am i supposed to feel about this? I don't want to feel anxious all the time, last night before bed I listened to many affirmations for anxiety.. it kinda helps because this morning I feel lighterquestion.gif

Hi

Waiting for something uncertain can make anyone anxious. I get it as ive been waiting for something too since january lol it hasn't been a great experience but lately it doesn't feel as intense. If you don't mind me asking who or what r u waiting on? and where did u get the affirmations? and im glad they helped u feel lighter

@LateAtNightWithTheFireflies hi too! I hope what you waited for since January will come to you soon. Happy to hear it feels less intense for you now. 🤗

My story is that, I'm currently waiting for a collaborator to respond to my chat. I asked them about when I can finally publish my work, but still no answer until today. I feel tired of waiting because their replies were always late, I understand they may be busy but I still hope that maybe one day they'll give respond and time for me. I understand that I'm just a new collaborator and I have to wait, I just don't wanna publish my work late..  i'm worried i'll miss the deadline because I think me and that collaborator have different timezones :")

And for the affirmation, I got it from youtube https://youtu.be/oS6KlpzDNS0?si=VpL0KxvNpaBaqbzW I hope this helps you too, sorry my story is a bit too long ..

Heyya! 

It's been so long since you made the post, I'm sorry... How have you been? 

Did you finally get to hear from them?

it's alright no worries, happy to hear back from you 🤗. you're right it's been so long, i feel better lately. i feel so much less anxious, and now happier.

i did get to hear from them, i posted that collaboration content once they accepted my idea. i was honestly expecting my next collab with them but that didn't happen. i learn to make peace with myself

Well that's not true, we can't be optimistic for something that hasn't yet come, aren't we lying to ourselves this way?

Hold on something that you feel positive about, feel grateful for. And that will become answer for most of your questions.

@hopefulencounter For me, it’s the belief that "whatever is meant for you will never miss you, and whatever misses you was never meant for you". It’s like a gentle reminder to trust life’s timing.. without losing hope💕^-^

I can understand your anxiety .

I would say, take it one small moment at a time, breathe gently, and remind yourself that it’s okay not to have all the answers right now. But I also know that it's easier said than done. Take care ❤️
