I’m going to take this opportunity and forum as a safe space to talk about this thing that has shaped a lot of my story to this point. Anxiety. You know, that feeling that makes your stomach ache, your head feel likes it’s everywhere other than on your shoulders, that feeling in your throat that makes you feel like you could lose it at any moment and that heavy weight that’s just not welcome! We’ll yep, that’s it and for some reason I’ve started feeling it at the same time of the day, doing the same thing 😬 grocery shopping of all things. I mean it’s not the most exciting outings, but come on! How hard can it be. Well for me, it’s so damn difficult. I have no troubles going in but once I’m in the shops I feel like I’m on autopilot! Nothing in front of me makes sense, I walk past all the things I need, I grab things that aren’t even on my list and then I look at what I’ve got and think how much is all this going to come too!! But that’s not what even causes my anxiety and the worse part is, I can’t even identify what’s bringing it on…. All I know is it’s a bu**er, it’s there, it’s real and it’s making me hate a task that used to be so simple!
Have you got that one thing that just makes you feel like you’re not you and to others it would be so normal?! 🤍🤍 Whatever you discuss with us is so super special and we hope that you can feel safe with us as we do with you all!
