Meds free and I'm totally fine

Hi there, long time no read.

The last post I wrote was about the weaning off of my anxiety medication. I‘ve actually been off of them for a few weeks now and I must say mentally, I feel in control.

Alas, with every positive you have to throw a negative in there, you know, to balance it out. I wouldn’t say I’m suffering from insomnia but I will say trying to relax enough to fall asleep is clearly a struggle.
Right now, as we speak, I’m exhausted. I’m totally ready for bed but I cannot shut my mind off. I do eventually fall asleep but it’s not easy.
On the other hand, I will say that I’m extremely proud of myself for what I’ve come through. I am managing my stress levels very well (if I do say so myself) but (there is always a but) my body is still reacting subconsciously to the stress and I think it always will. I react physically to stress and anxiety, and this has taken place for as long as I can remember.

In conclusion, anxiety sucks, but can be overcome.

I don’t really have much inspiration right now to write anything. Content will arrive at some point, don’t you worry guys.

How people see you

Morning, I’ll get right to it.  So, I was in the middle of a conversation with a work colleague today and another colleague joined in and I reacted to something they said. For some odd reason this made me think about how people see me. I can’t see how I look to others, my body language, my facial expressions, I’m blind to how I look to other people. I’m not sure how I feel about this, I mean I would really like to know how I look to other people.  Have you ever thought this too or is this just how my mind works? I bet you’re thinking about it now though right?  BCL says

Empathy

Being an empath is the worse, sure it can feel good if the feelings are positive but more often than not, they are negative. I feel everything, so much so, that if someone cries on tv or in a film I will also cry. This is hard work. I want to be there for people I love and I always will be but it will be a rollercoaster of emotions for me as well. This is exactly why I limit what negativity I allow into my life, such as things I cannot control that will only make me feel sad or angry, e.g. world issues. It’s hard to not feel it all, it’s not that I don’t care, I would care too much.  Can anyone else relate?  I hope anyone who is reading this post is healthy and happy and if not, don’t worry you will be.  BCL says

Memory lane

Do you ever wish you could go back in time and be a kid again? I’m sure most of us do as adulthood isn’t the best. Kids don’t realise how good they have it.  I’m currently on a packed train, it’s Sunday morning and I woke up in a mood. It’s led me to try to reminisce about my childhood, when I was carefree. Kids don’t get scared, they embrace life and I wish I could feel like that over and over again. Sure kids can be scared, sure they can get sad, but it’s not the same. They don’t have the worries or the responsibilities of an adult.  Maybe adults love being parents so much because they can relive their childhood through their children. I love that I have my own mind, I like the person I am but I do wonder what it would be like to be that carefree again.  Happy Sunday everyone <3
