I’ve been more stressed in the past couple of months than I have ever been in my entire life, without exaggeration.
My therapist recently suggested that perhaps it was my way of slowing myself down—I’m energized by action, and this sometimes can make me move too quickly. But with this much stress, I’m not doing anything quickly, and it’s possible that this slowdown is, in fact, good for me.
*I wish I could slow myself down another way, but that’s not always how ou unconscious selves work, is it?
