I had really bad anxiety today. The kind that piles up over months. Ruminating over my father's death, my recent break up, and my upcoming exam. I felt very isolated. Despite having friends I can reach out to, my mind kept telling me I can't for various reasons. I reached out to one and immediately started crying before even explaining. The sensation of relief that came with the fact that I could pick up the phone and call someone was enough to purge all the built up tension. Don't listen to your thoughts. Call your loved ones for support. Be kind to yourself.
