Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I think I’ve been telling myself a comfortable version of something in my life because the truth is harder to look at, and I’m ready to actually see it clearly even if it stings.
  • I can’t make myself believe the comforting answers anymore, but I don’t want to just throw up my hands and say nothing matters either
  • I’m always living for the next thing
  • The same intrusive thoughts and moods keep ambushing me through the day and I get swept off by them before I even notice
  • My everyday life — the dishes, the walk, the commute — passes in a fog while my mind is somewhere else entirely, and I want to actually be here for the plain, mundane moments instead of sleepwalking through them waiting for the parts that supposedly matter.
