Breakdown

Last night I had the anxiety/nervous breakdown to end all breakdowns. My work has caused me so much stress that it came to that. I want to just close up shop and walk away. But my anxiety tells me that I'll disappoint everyone if I do that. I hate feeling like this.

First off you know the source of your anxiety and that is important . Having an actual cause can lead to a solution x also hard as it may be try to put aside others expectations of you I'm sure the pressure you put on yourself is enough to be concerned about x it sounds like your at breaking point which is never a good time to make major decisions like walking away from your business. I'm hoping you can ask for help from those around you to either take the pressure off or make a difficult decision. Thinking of you either way x

Thank you so much for your words. I am at my breaking point and I did put the pressure on myself. I have always been the one who took care of my family. And to see it putting this much pressure on me is more than I can bare. The good thing in all this is I have an amazing support system. They are all around me. But them quiet moments is when my brain takes over.

Yes. I acknowledged my thoughts and just let them fizz out. Did some breathing exercises. Anxiety is an ugly monster for sure. Hope you are well.
