Day 8 and Day 9

I didn't have time to post this yesterday so I'm posting both now!

Day 8 asked what emotions I was able to identify if I could. Well, I definitely felt sadness in my body in one journaling and then anger in the other one. I'm definitely feeling anxiety in my body today!

Day 9 asked if I have been overly critical of myself. I haven't really noticed it much until today. I had anxiety and I told myself how dumb it was that I have anxiety and that I'm stressing myself out more with this. And that other people didn't have to deal with it. I basically was shaming myself. If I hadn't read this question today, I think I would have never thought another thing about it. But that question triggered my memory about earlier today. I bet I'm not speaking nicely at all to myself and I'm just used to it.

I do have a teeny tiny win for today! I was dealing with some symptoms and instead of freaking out about the symptoms I asked myself what was going on in my brain to make up these symptoms. That was the first time I thought about it in that way! And yes-I'm dealing with multiple stressing things in addition to dealing with exaggerated symptoms of my TMS this past week!
