Delays

What comes to me is the word delay. Much like at an airport or a detour going home, we get impatient in the hold up of time and quickly think of how it’s an inconvenience to us getting to our next destination. We feel anxious, rushed, antsy, and sometimes angry. It’s about how it affects us and how it forces us to pause. Being forced to slow down and face the things that are out of our control.

Enough Is Enough

This isolation is destroying us. It has diminished our ability to receive the emotional support we get from our family, friends and professionals that help keep us balanced.

Pregnant During A Pandemic

A PANDEMIC? Anxiety has been something I have struggled with my entire life. In recent years it’s gotten worse. Most days it’s very manageable .. aside from the darker days. But right now, all I feel is anxiety. It is rushing back like a wave in the middle of an ocean during a tornado and I am the little lifebuoy that doesn’t stand a chance.
