Should I then say that -I- felt nothing but my beast felt some distinct anxiety? I would say that the Beast was
lusting for a fix, and that it felt anxiety at the thought of a lifetime without a fix. Beasts have feelings, and you felt its anxiety, but don't mistake that for your own. Remember, there are two of you, and accordingly, two ways of looking at things. For the Beast, your Big Plan is akin to death by deprivation, but for you, it means hope and freedom.
