in Seattle & across WA
You can’t seem to catch your breath, if only you could turn off your mind
From the moment you wake up, you’re overwhelmed with a sense of dread. You wonder how your to-do list seemed to multiply overnight. And you know even the strongest coffee won’t get you through another day.
It’s exhausting to constantly anticipate all the things that may go wrong. Every social interaction replays on a loop in your head and making even the smallest decision leaves you overwhelmed and second guessing yourself.
To the outside observer, you’ve got it all together, yet you feel totally unsettled on the inside
It’s like you’re not even present for your own life. Everything you do makes you feel more and more exhausted. You’re not sleeping, you’re not eating, and you’re sick of ending every single day with a venting session to whomever will listen.
You’re not motivated at work and find yourself easily irritated, snapping at anyone who says the wrong thing. You try to solve problems before they arise, but staying two steps ahead leaves you missing out on the present moments.
At this point, the feelings of self-doubt and worry are so common that you can’t recall a time when everyday moments weren’t accompanied by an undercurrent of stress.
