Jacob’s May 2019 Blog "Friday is my favorite day, because I know how much I want to go to church on Sunday. It means I have another day of good anticipation. I live so much in my mind that it is more fun for me to anticipate than to actually do. Can you imagine not being able to do what your brain wants to do? I mean well, but have trouble behaving the way I want. It is more fun for me to dream than to do. I guess it’s because my body stores up so much fear inside that I cannot enjoy the experience of doing. I know it sounds weird, but I am captive to my rebellious body. Even the anticipation and fear of possibly hurting others makes my body act up. I start hitting myself and the fear level cycles upwards. I want so badly to control my fear but it is in control of me.

What can I do to control this anxiety? I know all the scripture verses, breathing, and know it is irrational but it still has control of my body. You may not believe me or think I am losing my mind, but it is like I am living with a rebellious person who wants to destroy me. My body has its own will and desires. Did I mention that I cannot speak? Therefore everyone believes that I am what my body does. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am actually a tender, sensitive soul trapped in a violent, aggressive horrible body that I cannot control. I long for you to know the real me inside. Have you tried?"

Thanks for sharing such an insightful article. As someone working as an academic writer with Global Assignment Help Australia, I see many students struggle to balance essays, reports, and case studies while keeping up with deadlines. Quality assignment help often makes a real difference when it’s about structuring ideas or ensuring research depth. I’ve noticed many students rely on an essay typer tool to get started, but pairing it with well-researched references and proper structuring with essays, reports, even case studies) really elevates the final work. Your points on planning and outlining make that process much smoother.

Reading Jacob’s words about anticipation and fear resonated deeply with me. I’ve also faced moments where anxiety felt stronger than my ability to control it, making everyday experiences overwhelming. In my own journey, I found that structured, supportive environments can make a difference. For instance, when I attended a women’s handgun class Mechanicsville, the patient instruction and calm atmosphere helped me build confidence and manage stress.

Reading Jacob’s words reminded me of my own struggle with anxiety and the disconnect between mind and body. I often felt trapped in cycles of fear, even when I logically understood what was happening. Finding supportive outlets helped me reclaim small moments of calm. Along with therapy and mindfulness, I treated myself to a facial for dry skin Colorado Springs when my stress showed on my skin. That gentle care, combined with professional guidance, gave me a sense of nurture and quiet that eased my anxiety.
