I’m guest posting over at Lys‘ while she is getting settled in Wisconsin. My idea of home.
Speaking of sanctuaries, I would really love to hide away in one right now. Would someone like to explain to me why I’m having anxiety? My head tries to be logical but my stomach is in knots.
When I was little I used to get so excited for field trips and vacations I’d make myself sick. Thinking about it, maybe I still do it subconsciously. I’m WAY excited for this weekend. I’m stressing over little things that I know in my brain I need to just let go. Don’t borrow trouble, right?
Also, my Dad has been under a lot of stress and pressure trying to get his new school ready. On top of that he thinks he has pinched nerve in his shoulder that’s making his arm tingly. That really worries me. He says he’s fine and he’s had it before. And then he’s had a headache the last couple of days. Maybe it’s the change in weather or sinus’. He’s so stubborn and won’t go to the doctor, probably because he doesn’t have insurance and he’s already having a hard time. But in the end that shouldn’t even be a factor. I just can’t help thinking that if anything happens to him I’ll be essentially an orphan. I mean I know I’m 27 but still, I’m an only child. I have no siblings and no aunts/uncles/family that I’m extremely close to (not saying that I don’t have family). It scares the bejeesus out of me.

I just have to keep reminding myself that I can’t worry about things I can’t change.

That last line right there is SO TRUE. I oftentimes have to take a giant step back and realize that stressing out over the things I can’t change is a complete waste of time. All I can do is take a deep breath and do my best!
And I hate it when men are stubborn about going to the doctor. As women we can’t NOT worry… not a good combination!

i always worry. constantly. i find it helps to just take a moment to relax, force yourself to really just sit and CHILL for a minute (i usually add a glass or three of wine). setting aside time to just BE and do nothing helps.
My mind is most at ease when I’m running or sleeping. I hope your dad feels better soon!
