Stressed out, overwhelmed, and over it: a way out of always feeling anxious
Individual Therapy for Stress and Anxiety in Tennessee
Every day, it’s the same story…
Either you’re running behind, desperately trying to catch up or you end up paralyzed from the overwhelm of all you have to do. Even though you’re exhausted, you never really sleep - every night, your mind races with all of the things that you didn’t get done. You wish that you could just slow down and rest - without the guilt creeping in that you should be doing something else.
You keep succeeding but inside, you feel like a fraud.
People look at you and think you have it all, but inside you feel like a mess.
You kick yourself for snapping at your partner, getting irritated with people at work, and freaking out when something interrupts your plans. You feel like you are so far from having it all together and deep down, you don’t even feel worthy of success. You just keep pushing for the next goal, worried that if you slow down, everything will just fall apart.
Sometimes, the voices of shame and criticism get so loud in your head you just want to scream to make them stop. But, you keep trudging along, doing the best you can, hoping that no one will notice.
You feel stuck and you want someone to just come in and make it all better.
You want to feel better. You wish you could understand why the hell you are the way that you are and figure out a way around it.
You wish that you could get a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling rested and refreshed and ready to take on the day.
You dream of a day when you don’t dread going into work and your to-do list actually gets done.
Imagine that we could actually make this happen.
Allow yourself for a moment to imagine this life that feels so far from the one you have now. Think about what it would be like to not procrastinate falling asleep because you were actually able keep up with everything that’s on your plate.
Imagine feeling free and relaxed and at peace.
Imagine making steps toward being a happier, more secure person who actually feels satisfied and at ease.
Imagine feeling in control and ready to take care of yourself without also feeling the need to stress out everytime a change comes your way.
Anxiety doesn’t have to rule your life
The reality is that you’re probably terrified of letting anxiety go because it’s part of what has helped you to push so hard.
When you were in school, stressing out probably helped you to get that A and at home, it means that you might actually have a clean house once in a while. Secretly, stress and worry and guilt have helped you to feel motivated to do the things that you don’t want to do (like going to that party or meeting that dreaded deadline).
But, there is a way off of that merry-go-round. Together, we can practice ways of getting motivated without beating yourself up in the process. And, I can help you to learn new ways of dealing with others to stop anxiety from creeping back up on you.
The best way to get started is by just having a phone call.
