Not doing well
I’m struggling with my head it just keeps going around and around lately. Trying to distract. I just feel like this cycle is going to keep happening. I get ok and I revert back to old patterns of shame, anxiety and just feeling low. Just running on empty right now

Re: Not doing well
I’ve been worse for awhile now. I don’t know why I’m like it at the moment. Night is always worse

Re: Not doing well
I get stuck in my head to @DID82 . I was thinking if I had any tips for getting back into one's "whole body". The thing I keep thinking on is hands and feet. They are, after all, the parts that are furthest from the head part. I don't know if you're a gamer or not, but in gaming circles the term "touching grass" is becoming more and popular as general mental health note.
Actually, yesterday while toughing grass I stepped on a bee. This was not fun and it was clearly worse for the poor bee. One weird thing is, it made me more feet conscious and I think that kinda of leveled out my neurosis a little bit. Am I recommending picking fights with bees? NO. Definitely not. Bee's already plenty enough to deal with. But, a little bit of foot kindness, is always a good idea.
