Anxiety

What the heck is goin’ on?! For the past couple of days I have felt completely plagued by anxiety for no known reason. You know that sinking feeling you get in your stomach when you watch a movie full of foreshadowing? You see the child running carelessly towards the street. Then the camera pans to the freighter truck speeding mercilessly along the same highway. Then the child. Then the truck. Then the child…then the truck. The next thing you hear is the screech of the brakes, and you see a single shoe fly into the air.

 

THAT is how I have felt since Sunday. I have slept horribly, and just feel tense all-around. The worst part – I have absolutely no idea why. I feel physically like I NEED to have a good ol-fashioned cry. But… I don’t feel sad. That’s the really weird part. Life is pretty darned good, actually. I have no reason that I can think of to feel sad or anxious. But this dark cloud is following me around like an obsessed stalker. WTF? I’m hoping that maybe I can sweat it all away tonight in yoga.
