Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Right before the thing that matters
- I just know I went from fine to flooded and I couldn’t tell you how
- Every time I feel stressed I also worry that the stress itself is quietly wrecking my health, so I’m stressed about being stressed
- In the moment my mind goes blank and the only voice in my head is “you can’t handle this”
- I’ve gotten so good at "embracing the stress" that I keep telling myself I’m fine while quietly running on empty
