I decided to start a blog here as sort of a “safe space” for lack of a better term for me to get my thoughts down some place. I’d usually post on Facebook, but I’d like a place where I can post longer posts and get a Christian perspective if people feel the desire to comment.
I tend to think that I am an open book, not holding back anything, but that is not entirely true. I don’t typically like talking about myself so this is a good therapeutic outlet for myself.
Recently I have made a discovery about myself. I have anxiety issues. I don’t think that they are anything serious, but they are there nonetheless.
I should have known this about myself sooner. Maybe I did and just didn’t want to admit it. I have always tried to do more than I am capable of, taking on things that aren’t my responsibility at work, then feel a little stressed out as I try to get it done.
I feel a little stressed out when there is something I want to do and feel I need to do when I cannot do it at that moment. For example, a thought hit me that I want to work on and get out there while I’m driving.
perhaps my anxiety issues are also what troubles my sleeping habits. I tend to have no issue actually falling asleep, not getting a full nights sleep. However, there are times I wake up in the middle of the night, whether it’s something that happens in a dream or my 2yo daughter wakes up calling for me or my wife. When that happens, it usually takes me a long time to fall back to sleep. An hour, two… it’s very hard to get back to sleep. This is because my mind races when I wake up in the middle of the night with anything and everything. Literally. Work issues, trying to figure out loopholes or plot holes in movies or tv shows, conversations I had or should have had. It keeps me from falling back asleep.
if you’ve read, thank you. If you share your thoughts on my thoughts, thank you.
until next time
