I almost freaked out earlier to what I think was supposed to be an anxiety attack or is my body no longer able to tolerate the effects of coffee? Both of these possibilities are sad for me.

I’ve been feeling very anxious lately and overthinking a lot of things that I shouldn’t be. Fortunately, I still have a bit of capacity to calm myself down by coming back to reality that everything is going to be alright.

I do have some major challenges ahead of me but recently I tend to get too far ahead and think of what may happen or if I could handle it if ever it happens.

I’m surprised at myself that I’m able to write about my experience and stay calm and not trigger any feelings of anxiety or depression. This means I’ve reached a calm state of mind and I can assure myself that I’ll be able to sleep well.

If ever you find yourself in the same situation, pray and give your burden to the God you believe in, find someone you trust and can talk to. If you don’t have anyone to speak with, find a way to release your emotions. You can try crying, screaming or any activity that can help you release that heavy feeling. Just don’t hurt yourself in the process.

Listen to some calming music or find an activity that can make you feel better, rehydrate yourself with water and wash your face. What I mentioned above worked for me and hopefully it can work for you.

I wish you well and may you find mental and emotional peace.
