Therapy for Anxious Women in San Diego, CA
You’re worried some part of you is broken and can’t be fixed
Waking up anxious and exhausted every morning, your thoughts jump ahead to the day: you already feel lonely, scared, and frustrated, and it’s likely only going to get worse. It’s hard to talk about, to find the words, but people around you notice you’re on edge, and it makes you feel distant and disconnected. When you’re anxious, it’s hard to sift through all the sensations to really know what you’re feeling underneath. The worry about belonging, about being enough, about being loved, is everpresent and no matter how busy you keep yourself, it’s always there in your fast beating heart, in your jumpy skin, in your fear that this is as good as it gets.
You’ve lost perspective and can’t seem to find it in you to be kind to yourself. You feel upset and insecure, worried you aren’t doing well enough at work, in relationships, at life. You compare yourself to others and always come up lacking. How come it feels easier to offer others your compassion, but you can’t seem to stop judging yourself?
Big life transitions like getting married, having a baby, changing jobs, and moving, can evoke a host of confusing feelings: overwhelm, excitement, hope, fear, dread, sadness. It’s all normal. Feeling anxious as the world around you changes can happen to even the most stable people; what you choose to do with the anxiety takes intention and practice in order to be resilient and recover. Anxiety rears its head when you ignore how you’re really feeling (or don’t even know how to name it) and just plow ahead without slowing down and asking yourself “what do I really need to feel better right now?”
