It's crazy how sensitive I am to stress now

My coworkers were gossiping about their frustrations at work. I feel the same frustrations. I wasn't really as involved in the conversation because I was busy with something, but they were talking about it in front of my desk. I wasn't annoyed at them at all- I adore these women, lol.

But yeah, pretty quickly, I noticed that my heart rate was climbing and I was feeling a little panicky. Once they walked away, I started to calm down.

I've always been kind of stressed person ever since I became a mom but nothing like this. I guess the smallest little thing is just going to stress me out now.
