SOIt’s hard not to feel it… the situation right now is scary. And even if you are safe…the tight chest, clenched jaw, restless legs, random wave of tension for no reason, aren’t just random tics.
It’s somatic anxiety (when stress shows up as physical symptoms instead of just racing thoughts)
And let’s be honest. You can’t always journal your way out of that.
Sometimes your nervous system doesn’t need more thinking. It needs movements that help discharge stored stress, regulate the nervous system, and shift you out of fight-or-flight mode.
Save this for the next time and send this to a loved one <3
