And I really value being honest. I had a good day the other week, and when I got a message from a client asking for an update on a project I haven't had time or energy for, I grabbed the bull by the horns and told her the truth; I've had to prioritise another job and haven't had any energy left for her project.

I feels bad to say, but I know it feels worse to lie and say something down the lines of "I've been ill", "I just haven't found the time, I've been soo busy". She replied with understanding and it felt great.

And so I realised that my anxiety makes me afraid to tell the truth, makes me lie, which makes me feel worse.

Just wanted to share.
