So yeah, ever since I was like 13, I've been dealing with major anxiety thanks to my parents pushing me to be perfect. To handle the stress, after college, I just kept piling on more stuff-like, if distraction is your thing, it works for a bit, but you can't rely on it forever. Fast forward 20 years and then boom, COVID hits. The combination of work stress during all that chaos and getting sick really messed me up; now I have these autoimmune issues too. Honestly, sometimes even my therapist didn't get tat I was running away from anxiety instead of actually dealing with it. If you feel like sharing more or want to chat privately, totally cool. We're all in ths together, one day at a time.
I am relieved to know that others feel the same way. There is indeed a distinction between hiding an issue and addressing it properly. Finding the appropriate solution can be challenging, but I believe we will eventually figure everything out.
Yeah, I'm dealing wiht meds and therapy right now. Got hit with a past memory that's been rattling around in my head all day. Guess it's time to chat it out with someone and try to get this cloud off my mind!
Thanks for any support!
