I'm tired of having to explain…

Managing health conditions can be complex and time-consuming.
Understanding your needs and symptoms while balancing daily tasks and schedules to accommodate different aspects of your life and health can add an extra layer of exhaustion.

Not to mention having to explain those complexities, demands, and challenges to others on a regular basis — whether that looks like canceling plans, not being able to show up the way you'd like because of your health, or explaining things to a health professional.

What’s something you’re tired of explaining to others?

Sleepless Nights

It's 5 am - I should be asleep and pleasantly dreaming.
Except my body won't listen. My mind is conceiving.

Lying here for hours. Wishing I was tired.
Why is my mind always so fuckin wired??

Thinking about the day ahead.
So damn frustrating. Fills me with dread.

Sleepless nights are are all too familiar. A feeling so unsettling.
Why can't I shut my brain off? Enough with all this fretting!

"Take another pill. Ty some deep breathing".
The expert advice is quite frankly unappealing.

I hate this feeling.
I wish I had healing.
Maybe there's something here that's revealing?

Sleepless nights you're not welcome. Sleepless nights truly suck.
Another sleepless night.
Guess I'm all out of luck.

Go to sleep brain!

What do you often overthink about?

One thing about me is that I’m always thinking about something—whether I want to or not. My mind is like the ending credits of a movie, except the movie never really ends. The credits in my mind feel like a jumbled mess of responsibilities, finances, worries, past relationships and friendships, and things I need to do. But mixed in are also ideas I have, ways I can be creative, and goals I want to achieve.

Can anyone else relate? Do you find yourself overthinking? If so, what topics tend to come up for you?
