We’ve all heard of the “flight or fight” response, right? Did you know they’ve actually added a couple others to that list? They are “freeze or nuture”. I bring this up because, I won’t lie, I have anxiety. I was diagnosed with PTSD two years ago as a result of some things that happened in my childhood, and my anxieties had become debilitating to the point where it interfered with my relationships, work, and activities. I was combative and excessively worrying about the smallest things. So then enter medication, which has been a godsend for me, but it’s not a cure-all. As my body seems to continually adjust to my dosages, I have to fall back on coping skills to get me through various situations, and I’m not always successful. The last month, some very intense things have been happening in my family and I have really been unable to do anything but “freeze”. I mean it - I can’t cook dinner, clean my house, write any form of Instagram post (let alone a newsletter), knit, go to the grocery store, and the list goes on. It’s been awful. I’m starting to slowly realize that my inaction has been more of a result of my physical responses to anxiety, but I keep telling myself and everyone else that it’s pregnancy. So I’m going to start to work myself back to a functional human being, which feels like such a challenge right now. I don’t normally love to pour my guts out to strangers (though we are all friends here, right?), but I think naming it publicly will help me keep myself accountable. And maybe focusing on our upcoming addition will also be helpful (here’s me working on a Moses basket, wish me luck!), so I’m going to try to bury myself into the positives. Does anyone else experience anxiety and care to share? If you’re not comfortable leaving a comment, please feel free to DM me - my Insta-door is always open.
