Taking a Blog Break

Dear Readers,

I am going to be taking a break from my blog for a while.  I've come to the understanding that I am fighting moderate to high levels of anxiety.  Levels of anxiety that sometimes affect my performance at work, translates into physical pain, and makes my social life non-existent.  Simple things like wanting to commit to writing a blog once a week can snowball into a huge mass of underlying anxiety for me.  Why?  Because I wanted to make a commitment and when I feel like I fail at the commitment my anxiety sky rockets.  If you don't experience it, it's difficult to explain.

I'm working towards relieving myself of this subconscious, unintentional, and yet sometimes paralyzing anxiety.  That's doesn't mean that I won't continue to write when it strikes me, but regular commitments are too stressful for me right now.

So I'm off to do some yoga/deep breathing and a trip to the library for some peace and quiet to try to learn to turn my brain off (much easier said than done).

See ya when I see ya!
