The Kindness Bench for SimLit Writers - For All Games!
What is a kindness bench? Kindness benches are inspired by the Buddy Bench movement which is in practice in many schools. With Buddy Benches, children who need someone to play with or talk to at lu...
The past month has been hard for me in the anxiety/sadness department. I think it could be that it's summer and I don't have activities like I do during the rest of the year. I'm hoping I'll feel better when my weekly rehearsals start back up at the end of the month.
Still, I've not wanted to do things I usually enjoy and I don't feel comfortable hanging out with friends. I'm boring, I prefer to go out to eat then depart, lol. That could be the anxious part; I worry about crowds and violence... I know it's not something I can control and it doesn't consume my thoughts BUT it makes me more likely to decline an invitation, you know?
Then you add the stress of simlit and it's like YIKES. My output has decreased and my silly "likes" have gone down from their usual pattern. I'm bummed because I was NOT worried about this sort of thing before and now I am. I can preach all I want but can't follow through, lol.
Also, putting the ball in my court is a recipe for procrastination... In my bullet journal I wrote down that I need to give my availability for hanging out with two different groups of people two weeks ago and still haven't done it. UGH. I don't know why I'm putting it off. I'm feeling like a loner and I don't like it. T_T
I'm also putting off calling a doctor but with my freak out Friday morning I know I should probably talk to someone. I'm nervous, though, because I don't want to suddenly unload more than I planned...
Anyway, thanks for listening. :heart: I guess I'm just wondering if anyone can offer advice about seeing a doctor about anxiety since the rest is all in my head, lol.
getting out of your own head is hard. i used to get anxious about everything i think i also have anxiety in large groups because at work i love doing the dishes more than the stuff that involves actual interaction.so while i have nothing insightful to say i sympathize.
