Anxiety is no joke!

[Madigansmom]

So. I had a breakthrough today, a sort of revelation. The root cause of this gripping bout of anxiety I've had since last winter finally came to light. I finally realized that I've been "emotionally impaired" worrying about a certification class I'm taking for work. I have several months to go, but at least I can relax and fully breathe knowing what the problem is.

How am I still shocked when I finally realize the problem behind my worry, fatigue, irritability and fearful angst? How does it hit so hard and stay so long?

You'd think I could better detect, analyze and address what's interfering with my peace of mind... It's not my first rodeo, but somehow I'm always riding blind!

I'm a bit free now. More obstacles lie ahead. But my brain can better manage now.

Until the next Mack-truck, I will breathe and relax.

Congrats on your self realization. I hope it gives you better insight into yourself and you now have a foundation to build off of ❤️

Some of us never get that. We don't exactly know why we are anxious. Some of us do. Usually it's a traumatic experience that kind of left us with this stain of anxiety. And it just follows us around.

Some of us managed to get a hold of it. It never truly leaves. You go like into a state of remission. But you will still feel anxiety but it's not as powerful as it once was. It becomes like an annoying gnat that buzzes you a few times but you're able to wave it away. And you can continue on with your life. It is so freeing to get to that level. I say this because I was was once there. And I'm making my way back to that level.

Wishing you continued healing and peace on your journey 🫂❤️
