Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep telling myself I’ll finally feel enough once I lose the weight, hit the goal, get the approval
- We’re both trying so hard and somehow both ending up feeling unloved, and I’m starting to think we’re each pouring love in the exact form we’d want to get it back
- I keep dodging the things that scare me
- The thing I’m scared of sits in my mind as one giant wall of dread, and just thinking about facing it freezes me
- I’m so afraid of blushing or freezing up that the fear itself triggers exactly that, and the more frantically I try to stop it the more certain it becomes
