Another WOW! I stopped working in October 2020 and stopped driving also. I stopped because I am always lightheaded and kind of disconnected from myself and the world and I was afraid I would wreck or start making mistakes at work. I’m still always lightheaded and disconnected and if honest I will admit still scared. I see now that I need to just do the things I think I can’t to prove I can. I just don’t know how to do it lightheaded and disconnected…. I guess I’m hearing just do it anyway? Again, wow, I liked this one a lot.
Oh Drew you make it sound soo easy but my mornings are soo frightening n scarey n I hate being on my own in the mornings that I’m frightened I’m losing my mind so how can I get over this when I can barely function?
I make it simple ... never easy. There is a difference. Notice how you responded to information about the perception of "can't" with a comment about how you "can't"? That's a clue. Being afraid does not equal being unable to function. It means being afraid. Start from that point.
This sadly , is me to a t. Been out of paid work for a few years and have convinced myself that I can’t . Too scared . I will fail . I won’t cope , and it’s become a self limiting belief that has me feeling broken to the core , but inside , something is screaming at me to just get on!! Hard truth . And I so so want to slowly unwind this
Thanks Drew, I sincerely appreciate that you take the time to reply to comments when you can and for all that you do!
Love, love, love this quote! 👏👏👏
So very true! I see it. I know it. I push myself.

It's never a simple "just do it anyway". We have to understand WHY we're doing that. It's important. Start with the little things. They count too! :-)

It’s so difficult when you feel terrified, unreal n unwell
Start a garden and you'll get to eat while doing something!
