Past? Present? Future?
Living too much in the past leads to depression. Worrying too much about the future causes anxiety. But what if you have both depression and anxiety? Stop thinking … be present.
Why is is so hard to stay in the present? Here? Now?
My mind keeps wandering off all over the place today … It’s really hard to stay focused. Juggling too many balls.
So distracted. Can’t seem to get anything done. Even when I try to start a task, my focus gets caught by something else … I keep making mistakes … numb …
I’m sure I have some coping mechanisms somewhere to help keep me grounded and present, but I don’t seem to be able to access them right now. I’m too distracted by my thinking … too anxious … shutdown …
I can feel the anxiety in my body; nervous, jittery, strung-out tension, stress in my jaw. A million different voices in my head, but I can’t even focus on one of them … freeze …
Breathe in … breathe out … What is my body trying to tell me?
maybe i need to rest 🌻
