I should've elaborated on the etymology of the "Anxiety War" name so that's why I'm now writing about it here.
Since its inception, I've been asked about the meaning behind "Anxiety War" but I've always been hush because it was personal to me. To say I've struggled with anxiety in my earlier years is an understatement, but I'm not here to give you my full autobiography.
I registered the AnxietyWar.com domain and youtube.com/AnxietyWar on February 7, 2013. Although I bought and sold domains as part of my college repertoire among other online endeavors then (mostly web design & programming), I planned to keep Anxiety War for myself to develop into a mental health website coupled with a YouTube channel to help people deal with their anxiety -- a problem I was still dealing with myself. Indeed, I've always thought of my mental conflicts as an ongoing series of battles which I analogized as a war -- anxiety war.
Back then, I was extremely private in how I felt and what I thought, preferring to keep to myself. Needless to say, talking about mental health issues, especially publicly, was an idea that I quickly abandoned -- the "Anxiety War" name only remaining until 2015 when I decided to use it again to replace my old 2013 predator channel name "Sly Stinger" with "Anxiety War". Here's why:
Acting calm, cool and collected in the face of what evokes extreme uneasiness is a message I thought would vicariously resonate with others as it did me. The truth is at the time, going to the grocery store to confront a predator felt no different than going to the grocery store to buy milk, absolutely terrifying, yet acting confident and having a fake character transformed my real character into not who I wanted to be, but what I wanted to be -- more confident. As pathetic as this sounds, it worked, and I learned that if you don't control your mind, it will control you!
Now you know.
Thank you for listening. :-)
