So, I'm actively trying to calm myself down. Since I arrived in NH, I've been going at full speed because I've had so many things to do personally as well as on the job. I've been in a constant reactive mode and in my brain it hasn't stopped, though things have calmed down. (1/x)
It is having an impact on my job and my home life... specifically with my job - tripping over words, making stupid mistakes, and other issues having to do with my performance.
I've always been open to mental health challenges and right now I'm having a hard time.. (2/x)
Anybody have any suggestions? I've tried yoga and being still. Both are okay... but haven't yielded any results. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Have you been able to recognize any specific triggers when you have moments that are more intense than others? More trip ups?
I remember when you lost the job in Indy and then finding a new one in NH, selling stuff, etc. Trying to come up for air when there’s been such an enormous upheaval isn’t easy. ♥️🫂 It’s what I’m going thru as well.
Have you considered therapy?
@see_the_sus : Yeah, I know the triggers but am having a hard time avoiding them when they're right there.
I went through a LOT of therapy when I lived in Indiana and had a FANTASTIC therapist there. But because of idiotic laws, I can't take my therapist with me when I move out of state. I haven't found one here although I've been through, quite literally, 10.
Maybe the trick isn’t to avoid them? As wacko as this might sound, sometimes I’ll try to talk to the shit that starts to trip me up. Try to have a conversation with it and remind it that I won’t let it hurt me. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t.
