Ever since I've become more committed to my writing this past year, I've been struck with an awful sense of anxiety: it seems like there's always 'something' dire that needs to be done, but I can't put my finger on what that 'something' is. It's a general sense of unease and restlessness, like I'm chasing 'something' at all times, and can never sit back and stop.
Do you think this has anything to do with my writing? Have any of you ever felt this way? This feeling of being unable to relax, like there's an impending crisis at your doorstep and you always have to be alert and waiting for it
I can't help but feel like this comes from being too focused on the logistical aspects of a writing career: legal, business, and marketing strategies rather than the creative writing itself. It almost feels like my right brain is shriveling up with so much constant worry.
I was just curious if any of you other writers have felt this way, and if so, if you were able to identify why and resolve it accordingly. Is this just me, or do all creatives feel this way? It's gotten so bad for me, I now feel a general malaise everyday (headaches, fatigue, etc.)
