    In capitalism, responding in a wrong way to an email can start a chain of events that lead to you being let go, which leads to almost immediate threats to your bodily existence from lack of shelter and food. So in a way, it’s understandable to feel this level of anxiety about this situation.

      responding in a wrong way to an email

      It’d have to be pretty wrong to trigger that chain of events. It’s definitely possible but being that wrong would probably get the sender into trouble in other economic systems as well.

    Stoicism, meditation, mindfulness, yoga, reading, whatever other thing that makes your inner voices stop (flow/focus state)

      cool although I don’t like stoicism cause it sounds to me like dissociation, never actually learn from the bad experience

        stoics have a concept of preferred indifferents which are things like life, health, a good income/wealth, social status, etc that you’d rather have than their opposites, like death, sickness, poverty, bad reputation, etc. From that not sure one could label stocism as a form of dissociation.

        Well you can try whichever philosophy that resonates with you, I said Stoicism because is the one that focused more on how to stop anxiety, but in reality all you need to do is focus on the trully important things, wich is the final purpose of any philosophy
