My sleep has been fragmented ever since Saturday’s meeting. I’m trying not to read into it too much and not beat myself up for being silly after one date. It’s really easy for me to feel something off in my body and wonder if it means something is wrong. Of course my brain is catastrophising, telling me that I’m in a lose-lose situation that’s going to end badly and I should run before I get hurt. I might actually go for a run today. It’s about time I start, it’s been a goal for ages.
I spent a lot of time in the past ignoring when my body telling me something was off. I think I’m scared of doing that again. Just because I feel a certain way, doesn’t mean things are that way.
There wasn’t really anything in particular that made me feel uneasy, but my body is just having this visceral reaction. I think it’s the uncertainty and the expectations I’ve subconsciously placed on the situation. I think I might get in touch with my therapist again. Or at least visit the GP to get a mental health care plan for a different one. Don’t want to have to go through the whole thing of having to introduce myself again and go through the formulation process but if that’s what it takes…
mental health and sleep

Thanks Seagoon ❤️
That sucks. Sounds really stressful. Was there anything that stood out as making you feel uneasy?
Good friends or a therapist could be useful here or even a journal can help see any patterns of behaviour.
