Your story:
about you
Silence seems like a foreign concept, the mind continues to race, it is hard to relax and the feeling of being overwhelmed has become a seemingly constant companion. The desire for connection is strong, but seemingly out of reach. Each social interaction plays on repeat:
Did I say the right thing?
Should I have handled that differently?
Was I too much or too little?
There is a sinking feeling, appearing ok from the outside, but the experience of barely keeping your head above water persists. You feel confined, trapped, and stifled in the pursuit of emotional freedom. The body experiences both intense physical reactions, but can also feel numb and disconnected at times. The story of life is plagued by:
Questions
Worry
Anxiety
Irritability
Depression
Doubt
Unwanted thoughts.
Perhaps you experience a constant grinding or grating on the brain. Feeling afraid, but can’t explain why. It is not anything rational. You simply feel worried, anxious or in fear. You may look in the mirror and feel like a shell of your former self. You may have come to a place aspects of life just feel too big and you feel ill-feel equipped to handle it anymore.
