Anxiety & Impatience

Hurry the f*ck up!

Have you ever woke up f*cked up? Hella impatient, and mad? Pissed for no reason. Hella “I want it right now! I woke up like this. How? What the actual f*ck? Real question. Is this you? Oh, now I’m the only one who woke up like this? Okay. If you don’t know what I’m talking about let me explain to you to help you understand.

Princess Fiona

It feels like if you went to sleep as ‘Anxiety’ Princess Fiona (Human) and woke up as ‘Impatience’ (The ‘Ogre’ Princess). Pure f*ckery. You like “Come on magic, hurry the f*ck up”. You want everything to hurry up and get the f*ck out of your way. Cuz you close to the edge. From that first groan in the morning, you knew.

You knew from the morning breath, because you sat up and passed through your yawn and smelled it, you knew you were f*cked. It’s okay, now your hair started frizzing, chin itching, skin tingling, ears popping it’s like “oh f*ck not again”. BAM-suddenly everything is green, and everything is slow and you hella fast and can’t stop moving. Now you still have a Big Back, but now it’s green with these big ass feet stomping around like you lost your damn bike, scratching your belly waiting for this daggone spell to work. People looking at you crazy, “It’s cuz I’m green, isn’t it? No bihh, you impatient, which has no color. How’s that? You got it? How about all that shit in one, anxiety. Are they adjacent? Let’s see what we can do to help control it.

Mental and emotional symptoms of anxiety

When stress is long-standing, or if the mind and body are not coping with stress, a series of emotional or psychological anxiety symptoms can arise. These include :

• Feeling restless

• Jittery

• ‘On-Edge’

• Feeling Irritable

• Feeling Impatient

• Short Tempered

Impatience

Impatience comes from wanting things now, like a toddler at a candy store. It’s fueled by traffic jams, slow Wi-Fi, endless hold music, and that one friend who takes forever to text back. Basically, it’s our brain screaming, “Hurry up!” while life casually sips its coffee.

Anxiety

Anxiety is like your brain’s overzealous bodyguard, spotting "danger" in every coffee spill, text typo, and mild social interaction. It’s fueled by mysterious rashes, unanswered emails, and WebMD diagnoses. Basically, it’s your mind yelling, “We're doomed!” while you’re just trying to buy toothpaste without overthinking it.

The Connection

Impatience and anxiety are closely connected, often feeding into one another in a way that can amplify feelings of tension and unease. Here's how they relate:

1. Anticipation and Uncertainty: Impatience often stems from wanting a specific outcome or answer quickly, while anxiety is rooted in uncertainty about future events. If you're impatient for something to happen, that impatience can trigger anxiety because it brings an uncomfortable focus on the uncertainty of when (or whether) the desired outcome will occur.

2. Ruminating Thoughts: Anxiety tends to increase mental rumination, where the mind repeatedly returns to worrisome thoughts. Impatience can fuel this cycle by making you dwell on the waiting time and on concerns about potential negative outcomes, making it harder to let go of worrisome thoughts.

3. Physical Responses: Both impatience and anxiety activate the body’s stress response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol. This physical state of heightened alertness can manifest as restlessness, irritability, and tension. Because the body is already primed for a threat response with anxiety, impatience can escalate these feelings.

4. Frustration and Self-Criticism: Impatience can lead to frustration, which often turns inward and fuels anxiety, particularly if we feel we "shouldn’t" feel that way. This creates a loop of self-criticism and further worry, making it harder to calm down.

You can do it! Stay in character. It’s all calm. Managing either one can help reduce the intensity of the other.
