My mind has been so riddled with all kinds of thoughts. It’s so hard to separate them, which makes it so hard to think straight. I don’t even know how to explain it, but it just gets so LOUD in my head that I can’t hear or focus on what’s going on around me.
I can feel it starting to manifest in my shoulders and my head/jaw. Whenever I feel like this, I think of this meme I saw and saved in August of 2022 while I was one in my lowest slumps (I just spent an hour trying to find this in my album of 1k+ saved memes and quotes that helped me haha).
It’s a really helpful picture! Visualizing your emotions and your inner child, creating a dialogue to work out those thoughts have been a game changer. In my search for this meme, I found so many other similar visualizations that also resonate with this.
Sitting with yourself, through that tangled mess is really hard. I have been dissociating so hard and avoiding journaling, bedrotting, doom scrolling without proper release. I haven’t been sleeping much and can’t afford to buy food I actually want to eat because my insurance is doing everything they can to not pay me. I have lost all the weight I gained (20lbs) in April/May, with probably a little more. I know this is all not helping lol so today I am going to sit and untangle this mess in my brain.
I have recently come across a term that explains who I am as a person. Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and being able to put a name to it has helped a lot.
