We could have anxiety about an imagined fear, (phobia?) Isn't anxiety always about imagined/future possible outcomes? Could be, but how do phobias exist? (Would they be "unrealistic" fears/anxiety. ?)

Do you have a dictionary? phobia - an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.Phobias and anxiety are two different things but contemplating facing your phobias may cause you to become anxious!

Does anxiety have to be about the future? Can I be anxious about something that already happened, independent of any concern about the present or future ramifications of that past event?

I think you could be anxious, but with the outcome near, one could "comfort" themselves that it to, will pass. Unless there is some:a lingering of doubt . what is your opinion?

I think you could be anxious, but with the outcome near, one could "comfort" themselves that it to, will pass. Unless there is some:a lingering of doubt . what is your opinion? I'm not sure, but I'm having difficulty thinking of an example of anxiety without a "future" aspect of some sort, but I agree that could be near or even immediate future. I read somewhere that when the concern is a present concern, a better word than "anxiety" is "fear." Imagine watching a piano fall from 4 floors up directly over your head. I probably wouldn't describe my feelings as "anxiety." And then, after it has crashed to earth, I'd likely be feeling either relief or... well.... not much of anything.

I would not have time to feel anxiety, I would run like hell's fire was about to consume me.

No, Gene, you can't. It is not allowed. (unless you want to be considered atypical or wanted to redefine the word)anxious - experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.

What would the atypical be? G "Atypical" Nemson

The bible is NOT a book. It is a library of 66 books and dozens of authors. I don't understand why people bash this book that is older than any other compilation of literature. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey is the only other writing even close to the bible in age. The bible tells us HOW to live and HOW NOT to live. Just because it is in the bible doesn't make it right. Again the library isn't a book but a library.

T I don't understand why people bash this book that is older than any other compilation of literature The oldest parts of the bible are thought to be from 1,000BCE. That does not make it the oldest book or collection of literature. Texts have been found in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt that were produced in 3,000BCE. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is healing. The goal of electromagnetic resonance is to plant the seeds of understanding rather than dogma.

Another interesting video,"My Dear Donkey".
He claims that donkeys are very intelligent animals that are as easy to train as dogs.
"They won't go anywhere that is dangerous.!!"
Good donkey! ππ
