About This Quote
Many people who cope with anxiety and depression feel like they are constantly on edge. This makes them irritable and edgy, and they spend a lot of time worrying about the future and what’s going to happen next. It is often said that these people were born lucky, but we can say that it is the other way around. These people’s minds are always running through all sorts of scenarios, and if something is not going as planned, it will make them feel uneasy. The idea of this quote is to show how anxiety can make you feel like you’re on a compass, constantly spinning around and around with nothing bearing down on you and no real direction to go in.
