anxiety
I know that there are bigger things going on atm and I'm being solipsist but anxiety chest pain is annoying. I am fine but my body doesn't think so. It's been three weeks. I just want to be able to sleep ๐ญ done the box breathing, the five senses thing, the just sitting with it thing, music, running, movies, and my body's still saying danger and waking me up in the middle of the night. The last time I felt like this was when I was waiting on marks for a uni subject that I was going to fail, and before that, it was before a lesson I had to teach. Also happens when I have to wake up early. I took my sleep tracker off which I think has helped.I'm trying to tell myself that I'm not in immediate danger, but I'm at my wit's end and probably have the struggle switch on. Thank goodness I have a psych appointment next week. I've done so much work on myself and my mindset over the past couple of years, but I feel like I'm back to square one. I know I'm not though, I just have to believe it.
so many hugs
