About thirty minutes ago I was convinced I had covid and the dizzy spells I was experiencing were some form of brain damage. I had done my classic googling and found articles or information which confirmed my suspicions (because I was looking for it! That doesn’t make it correct!).

I got myself so worked up that I was on the brink of passing out - so dizzy that I couldn’t even think straight.

BUT I acted quickly, opened headspace on ‘managing anxiety’ set it to 20 Minutes and did the scan and breathing saying 1,2 over and over as my breathe in and out and catching my thinking whenever it tried to return to the idea with noting.

Does anyone else have e same thing?

Do any of you have similar fantasies about displaying emotions which are not coming out in your real life due to stress or difficulty?

I look back at my life. I think that I was always wrong or out of sorts with being human. At least before, I didn’t know it yet. I hadn’t worked it up to the forefront of my mind. Now all I can think is ‘the world broke you before you even had a chance, like the seed that landed in the lake, and not on the field.’

You downed as you came and you rot as you go. There is nothing for you but sadness and the quickening of mortality now. Times goes and your cells divide, like so many split ends ready for the chop. You’re fraying apart. You were never even together. You’re a disaster and a joke and the world spins anyway, seemingly as if it means to shake you off entirely.

My god, this is mean,
