I really like your posts about anxiety. It's very hard to explain how you feel when you're anxious.
We have a Spanish saying: "vuela el viento pero más el pensamiento". It can be translated as "the wind blows, the mind still more". I repeated this saying to me in the worst moments of my anxiety, trying to counterattack those dark journeys of my mind into an unlikely future.
Ah, such a great description in the first two paragraphs of anxiety. I love the way you language everything - easy to understand and relate to. I share your passion for making public spaces more pleasant to be in! There is some good research (which I don't have to hand) on the positive outcomes for patients in hospital if they have access to nature or even a view of sky or nature out of the window. I find many public spaces (especially shopping malls) very difficult places to be in - exhausting and scattering of my energy!
