Thank you for your reply, I will try that one. I must admit when I read it over the first time I had a brief cry for some reason, maybe emotional release of some sort… I did try hugging myself and just letting it out and I feel some relief, but there is still a weight on my heart.
Also, I guess I could use mantras, silent meditations on the go and other coping mechanisms for when I am in an actual stressful situation to calm me down so I can center myself and succeed instead of being stuck in a vortex of anxiety and possibly failing or doing poorly as a result. I often avoid and procrastinate on stressful things because of this, and it has not gone well for me in the past.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
