More thoughts on anxiety

At times I’ve zeroed in on this or that as the possible cause
my unbidden anxieties

Lack of sleep,
lack of exercise,
excess of calories
fantasizing,
internal dialogues,
lack of religious faith,
personal inadequacies,
lack of women,
lack of people,
lack of privacy,
and lack of personal freedoms.

And, at some point or another, each has been vanquished for a time,
with the possible exception of religious faith,
and, during that time, proven to not be the answer.

No, I suspect they each were a compounding factor
which happened to be present at the time
and which was labeled, guilty, by association
rather that by causality.
