Worry, Anxiety, And How We Cope


The epidemic of worry who would have ever thought that an article like this would be written to give us a different look about this year election, I believe David Brooks when he states that this campaign isn’t just about policy proposals because to me I think this presidential race is about targeting two candidates, because I believe the media is blowing the race all off subject and the reason why these two people are running to be the next president of the United States of America, David Brooks writes in his article “ some mental health therapists are reporting that three-quarters of their patients are mentioning significant election-related anxiety”, and I can relate because anxiety means feeling worry, nervousness, and a uncertain outcome of this election because I vote Democrat so I’m really worried if Hillary Clinton will win, because they are always talking about emails, and I stay glued to the TV every morning are night to see what’s being said about this election, In the eight paragraph he give me a clear understanding of concrete images and the abstract nature of worry and anxiety, when he write about the educated class and then he states that anxiety can be a feeling of overabundant of options without a core of convicting purpose, and that it’s worth nothing that rich countries are more anxious than poorer ones.

   The concrete images to me that’s in David Brooks article is According to the world health organization, 18.2 percent of Americans report chronic anxiety while 3.3 percent of Nigerians do, the two flavors of worry or spiraling worry and to worry and I believe worrying can help America are take down America but I just can’t see it happen but who know right, and worrying affects every family, from worrying about our kids and being honest and loyal to our friends in a friendship, and the difference between anxiety in poor nations like Hattie and other places in the middle east is that there are no jobs and there is not much money, because there are poor people in the United States that are struggling with anxiety right now today, affluent nations or like “ having an abundant of wealth, property, or other material goods or prosperous and rich”, but I’m not rich so I can’t relate, but the poor, I can relate, I struggle at times and I worry about were the next dollar will come from.

I Can Relate

   I have travel places living life to the fullest back in my days thinking that I would forever be young and I didn’t have a worry in the world because as a young person you think you are going to be here on this earth forever, you take life for granted but not knowing if you just would have tried to take life serious you probably would be set for life are not living pay check to pay check, I guess what I’m trying to say is watch who you hang with because the people you think is your friend is nothing but a snake waiting to see you fall, but the whole time you are young and you don’t know no better and you think they want you to succeed, you going through your puppy love stage just knowing you and your high school sweet heart is going to be together forever but you are young and you don’t know what you want, but the truth is your soulmate is still walking around somewhere in the world I mean it could be another place are city are even a smaller town your living in right now.

   You just move to the city and you thinking that it’s like the population of 5,000 people were you come from but in the city you can’t go to sleep and forget to lock your door because if you do you are inviting trouble in, but you could do that back in the small town you came from, if you are a young lady fresh out of high school focus on getting your degree from college don’t let these guys blow your head up and throw you off track of the goal you trying to accomplish, and to you young man out there who is now exploring this big old crazy world just be careful because it’s some disease out there that will kill you in a heartbeat, and guess what the world don’t stop, I’m telling you life just keep on going and this world just keeps on spinning round and round, do right by your mother and your father don’t talk back listen, because those old souls no more than you can imagine and why they know more is because their your parents, now we as man and women have our own mind and we can do what we want, but you never know what another person is thinking so that’s why I can relate, and always say no to drugs because drugs isn’t cool, so just stay away from foolish people.

   Yes Mike Rowe interview do make me stop and think what I’m doing at Blinn College but then when I come back to reality I stop and think and it come back to me why I’m at this college, and that is because I can’t do the work I use to do but I still must move forward, what stood out to me in Mike Rowe interview was when he said how Mr. Dunlap pointed at the boy with the cap and gown on and the other guy in the poster with the greasie mechanic suit own with the greasie ranch in his hand I thought that the was kind of bias, because people have they own mind sat on what they want to do with their life, yes I do believe Mike Rowe made some very valid points and I do believe that they were very logic for the topic of his interview, I like how he talked about how they are lending money to students and the money that the students don’t even have from the beginning, he speaks about how they are training students for jobs and careers that they may not work when they graduate from college and that’s true because when I work at Halliburton Energy in Caldwell Texas in 2011 and before we started out in the field of the oilfield industry, we went to Corpus Christi Texas for a 7 day orientation and there was students from the University Of Texas in Austin that couldn’t find a job for the degree they major in, so Halliburton Energy hired them own and train them to be survey engineers.
   Mike Rowe also talk about that there is a trillion dollars in debt on the student loan side, but he brought up a great topic about the guy in Butler that drive heavy equipment for a living and he makes a hundred bucks and hour and this guy works when he wants and he owe no debt, but people don’t tell his side of the story, and I must say people are building their dream  homes making 1200 dollars a week driving big rigs are working in the oil and gas industry, and he talked about work ethic scholarships and what they are, and they are willing to learn use full skills and to work hard, last but not least he talks about he went to college, and then he went to work, went back to school and got a degree and I think that is awesome that he went through the struggle just like we are going through now, and his first real education was with reality TV  mostly in the sewer.
