Hi Anita,

Your story about facing the coyote is so powerful. It’s fascinating how fear in the moment can feel so different from anxiety, even though they’re both rooted in the same response. That adrenaline rush in real danger can actually make us feel sharp and capable, while anxiety just leaves us drained and uncomfortable.

It sounds like you’re diving deep into exploring your anxiety, which isn’t easy but really brave. Journaling about it seems like a great way to process those feelings. I think it’s important to give ourselves the space to feel these things, especially in a gentle, supportive environment like you’re creating here.

I hope others feel encouraged to join in and share too. You’re definitely not alone in this. Keep going at your own pace—there’s no rush in healing.
