Dear Anita,

These past few days have been difficult. I feel like crying and very tired. Sometimes I have to ask my daughter for help since I feel so strange and confused. She said she thinks that I am going through some kind of change. I guess I am struggling to get rid of my old way of thinking.

I keep going to work as usual, I talk to people as usual and try to be brave. The baby elephant you told me about comes to my mind, old thoughts and sensations come to my mind – But I think I am going to make it – I hope.

You mentioned timeline requirements – and that’s exactly how I feel – I feel like I have to meet a deadline all the time.

Of course I have many of them, but the feeling goes beyond meeting deadlines at work. It is a kind of sense of urgency.

So, I take a breath, calm down, drink a lot of water, and keep going.

Thanks for listening!

Flávia
