anxiety. is it that bad?

My brother noticed my stressed look last night. He asked me why then I replied,

"Umaandar kasi insomnia ko. Madalas 2 or 3am na ako nakakatulog."

The first thing he told me was to DRINK MILK. Honestly, I hated it eversince. When I was a child, I've made up so many excuses just to avoid drinking milk. Enough of the milk thing. Back to my conversation with kuya, he thought it was not just because of my insomnia, but because of my anxiety.

"Ang dami-dami mong iniisip, kaya di ka nakakatulog kaagad. You have to let go of those things."

That hit me! My mind went blank. I didn't know what to answer. I somehow felt "guilty" because it's true, I've been thinking about so many things, even the things that shouldn't bother me. I don't know if I'm trying to give myself problems or whatsoever. All I know is that I'm bothered. There's never a day that I don't think of any. Another thing that I'm trying to let go now is my insecurity. They say it's normal to feel insecure, although one has to really move one step forward to overcome it, but this thing's pulling me down, my self-confidence. I'll fight this. I know I can. I should not rely on the people who could be of help, but myself.

To those who'll read this, just a piece of advice...

Let go of the things that doesn't make your life productive. =)
