my mind is going in overdrive with worry and anxiety. I’ve told someone about a couple of my anxiety triggers that I’ve never told anyone before. The thing is they’re so pathetic and small that I feel so ashamed and embarrassed and wished I’d never let the cat out of the bag so to speak. I was under the influence of alcohol and the person I told I think that they think I can’t remember telling them. I feel such a stupid failure and I am now having terrible anxiety attacks about the fact I told someone. I should feel better for sharing but instead I feel awful 😞.

Hi. Take a few deep breaths.

Remind yourself that this is not a catastrophe! It's a temporary state.

Maybe try to do something to orient yourself to the present time and try to focus only on that.

Coincidentally I *just* clicked on this podcast episode that I had saved to my phone and forgotten about. I will link to it. It may help. I love this podcast. There's an episode for all the states that I feel!

I am wishing you self-compassion💚💚💚
