Life

I have been dealing with some serious anxiety episodes the past few weeks and it doesn’t seem to stop anytime soon. You remember that stomach feeling you had the day before an important exam? Kinda restless, not fully grounded, you feel like you have to go to the toilet every 5min, you look already ahead into the future and wish you could be there… That’s been my life for the past three weeks and it sucks lol. Overall I’m fine (I think). There’s just a lot of things coming together at once in my personal life fuelled by my continued desire to grow the businesses. I tried taking work very lightly for a few days but it seems like it does the opposite - makes me feel unproductive on top of the anxiety. So I don’t believe it’s a work type of burnout. It’s more like I have 25 things I want to achieve as fast as possible all at once but realistically you can maybe get only two done in your desired timeframe. I put a lot of pressure on my personal/biz goals and i feel like i‘m not achieving them as fast as i want to. I’m aware from an outside perspective, to a stranger, my life might sound really good (most of the time it is!) but right now i definitely don’t feel it. There isn’t any intention with this post other than maybe letting you know that if you are feeling the same you are not alone and… if you are feeling great please cherish that moment as best as you can.

 

Edit: There seem to be a lot of others that are experiencing the same.
