I’m Celebrating My Achievement in Personal Development

I’m happy to report that at this ripe age of 37 I have finally defeated my life-long tendency towards anxiety. I am yet to experience anything more liberating than getting rid of anxiety. Oh, not to worry about the scenarios of impending doom! It is a great feeling.

I have also gotten rid of most of my unhealthy compensatory mechanisms.

This year of my life was probably the most important one because I have transformed profoundly in the course of it. You only know how limiting your psychological problems were after you solve them.

And now I will go and eat my Birthday steak.

This is a good one! But it has taken me until I am 102 to reach the same level — perhaps almost but not quite. It’s been a nightmare trying to separate the pathological strains of Western culture — its identity politics and narcissism — from its healthier expressions. My adaptation has achieved a moratorium. Quelle fromage.

Dear Clarissa, I apologize if I have missed this, but could you please narrate how you overcame anxiety. This seems to be a recurring and a rather crippling problem in my life.

Well done. There’s a lot to be said for youth, but there’s nothing like maturity for getting the most out of life now you understand it!
