    This week I: had six days of work, responded to two important emails, had a job interview (I got it!), paid an overdue bill, retrieved my debit card from the bank, went to the dr., and filled my rx.

    But I really need to choose my topic for my master’s thesis and email my preferred advisor, so, you know, I’m a failure

    Aaaaaagh!!! Leave me alone! I got so much done yesterday and all I get is guilt that I went to bed before I was done?!

    last night I finished something very stressful for me, but then my anxiety refused to accept the fact I no longer had to stress about it.

    So I was up half the night with irrational stress dreams and anxious thoughts.

    Why can’t my pride and satisfaction have the stubbornness of my anxiety?!

      in my experience the leftover anxiety buildup will stick around even after the stressor is over. it takes at least a day to clear properly

      gotta take time to start unwinding while the adrenaline is still running around or it’s going to hit you all at once
