  • Issue #5: Finding My Way Back to Myself

    It felt like a long day today.

    Being inside my head can be unsettling, and being around people can make it harder. I try, but sometimes I don’t feel at one with myself. Hearing unwanted voices, especially when they seem to come from people around me, feels overwhelming. There’s just too much to explain.

    My mind and body don’t seem to align the way they usually do. It feels like there’s interference with my thoughts. When people speak, I get caught up in their words while I’m trying to stay present and not lose myself in everything I’m hearing.

    Then I feel uncomfortable, and I usually don’t know what to do other than fight it in my head.

    Sometimes, even while I’m doing something, I get this feeling like my actions are connected to what someone else might be thinking. I don’t know what they’re thinking, but that feeling is hard to shake in the moment. It makes ordinary things feel complicated.

    When I’m alone, things settle down. I feel like myself again. The direction I’m taking feels clearer. My head isn’t racing as much, and those unwanted voices that don’t feel like me quiet down.

    I feel good now. Earlier was a lot, and I’m still finding the words for it. For tonight, I’m giving myself some room to breathe.
