Every Little Thing, Is Gon' Be Alright

Well, this past week has been so taxing!

 Everything was chaotic because of Halloween and now Christmas is right around the corner. There has been so much activity at work that I am just mentally and physically drained. And to top it all off, my district manager was supposed to make an appearance at our store. I was definitely not looking forward to that. I have actually successfully avoided being at work when he comes to visit and I thought my luck was about to run out. But, once again, luck was on my side... Until next week!! But, up until I found out he wasn't coming, I was freaking out! I was coming up with so many scenarios in my head of how I would be a complete and utter failure at my job and I was having complete conversations in my head about how he would tell me I'm doing my job wrong and that he was disappointed in my performance. Ugh! I was losing it! Thankfully, I was able to avoid meeting with him so I worried pretty much for nothing. But isn't that how things usually go? You worry and worry and give yourself so much anxiety over nothing!

 My advice, to myself and to all of you, would be to remember that nothing is as bad as it seems. Usually, what we tell ourselves about a situation is so much worse than what actually happens.
I have seen it 100 times in my own life and by the time the event passes, I'm like "Wow, I freaked out for nothing." So, take it from me, it's really going to be okay.

With Love & Support,
Anxiety Girl - xoxo

Feelings Shmeelings! *insert eye roll*

     Recently, I’ve been going through some things. I experienced my first breakup in a year. The only thing I know that actually makes me feel better is being able to write it down. So here we go:      My boyfriend, now ex, has a drug addiction and he was struggling for a while to keep a level head. I made it my mission to help out in any way and every way that I could. He kept a lot of stuff to himself and I can’t blame him for that because I do it too. I told him that writing helps me and I asked him to give it a shot. He did. He wrote raps mainly but it allowed him to express himself in a way where there wouldn’t be any judgement for what came out. It was amazing. I really thought that it was going to make a difference. He let me read some of his stuff and man I tell ya, it was some dark stuff. I knew drug addiction was like that. Messy and dark and consuming but reading how it affected him made me realize the seriousness of it. Anyways...

What Doesn't Kill Us...

Morning my sunshines!  Today is going to be a long day for me! I have a lot going on at work today because we are getting ready for the HOLIDAYS!  This is kind of a stressful time for me because when things get hectic I get overwhelmed really quickly and I'll start to worry excessively, then panic will set in, and then I'll shut down. (And most likely cry. It's what I do when I become overwhelmed). Now, I'm not even 100% sure if it IS because of the anxiety or if I just don't do well under a lot of pressure. But I'm going to say that it probably falls into the anxiety category only because of the "excessive worrying" part. I overthink everything and I begin to catastrophize and then I assume that I will mess everything up horribly.   My therapist used to ask me, "what's the worst that could happen?" In my head I was thinking, "well, I'd probably die." In reality though, the worst that could happen was that I'd do somethi...

A Little Venting Session

Good Evening! It’s just after midnight and I got the urge to write a little something. I’m not sure where exactly this blog entry is going but since I hadn’t written in a while, I figured I would drop in. So, most days I feel like I’m doing alright and other days… not so much. My best friend and I had this plan a while ago that we would get our shit together and move out and move to a new area and start somewhat new lives. We both felt like we needed a fresh start, I guess. Well, that didn’t really work out for either of us. It started out okay but kind of deteriorated along the way. We signed back up for school and took a two semesters of classes. She did great. Me…that’s a whole ‘nother story. I had the attention span of a squirrel on crack so it took me quite a while to get finished with my school work. It didn’t help either that I was taking online classes instead of going on campus. I did really really really bad. I failed like 3 out of 4 classes I took. I pretty much ga...
