You know, for years I have been refusing an anxiety diagnosis

Even after getting diagnosed with PTSD

And suffering for years with depression and SI

Because I look at the world and everything that is going on & think, who isn’t worried???

who isn’t ruminating on a minor decision that they made that doesn’t impact anything but might have been the wrong one

And who isn’t feeling like there is a tight string running from the top of their head to the very bottom of their core at all times and it’s getting ready to snap??

and that is how I realized that I have generalized anxiety

Just in case

Self-care Sunday: Does anyone else feel like they need more concrete instructions than "just let go" of intrusive thoughts? Hunter Clark-Fields (author of Raising Good Humans) explains that the reason labeling thoughts works to help let them go is because the process activates the prefrontal cortex---the part of the brain responsible for logic, reason, and decision-making, i.e. the part of the brain that's good at focusing and setting emotions aside. It's been really helpful in my meditation practice to notice where my thoughts go, give them a label, and find it easier to refocus on the present. Labeling thoughts isn't just helpful during meditation! It's a useful practice at any time of day when you notice unwanted thoughts cropping up. The key is in the noticing.
