The story of when I was trying to escape

The story of when I was trying to escape

The old me

It kept moving all the time.

More things to do.

Fill in the schedule

I got the results.

But it was painful all the time.

I realized why.

It was much later.

The effort I was doing at that time,

It wasn't an effort to move forward, it was an effort not to stop.

If it stops

Because I think about it

Because I realize the reality that I have to face.

So it kept moving.

But no matter how hard you try,

If the pain does not disappear,

It's.

Not enough effort.

I just can't face it.

People.

Even to escape

I can make an effort

So just once,

I want you to stop.

That effort now.

Where are you going?

And then.

What are you looking away from?

Direction of Efforts

I'm struggling even though I'm doing my best

Self-understanding

How to eliminate anxiety

日本

4/22 Edited to

... Read more私もかつては記録的な忙しさの中で必死に動き続けていました。仕事、趣味、人間関係の予定を詰め込み、結果も何とか出していたものの、心のどこかでずっと苦しさを抱えていました。それはまさに、今の投稿にあるように止まることの恐怖から逃げるための努力だったのです。 たとえば、休みの日でさえも予定を入れてしまい、家でゆっくり考える時間を作らなかったことを思い出します。なぜなら、静かな時間に自分の内面や不安と向き合わなければならないことが怖かったからです。そうして「動き続けること」が唯一の逃げ道となっていました。 しかし、ある時ふと体調を崩し、無理に動き続けることができなくなった瞬間に、溜め込んだ不安や感情と真正面から向き合わざるを得なくなりました。そのとき初めて、「本当の課題」は自分の心の奥深くにあったのだと気づきました。 そこからは意図的に立ち止まる時間を作り、日記を書いたり、信頼できる人に話を聞いてもらうことで、自分の本当の気持ちや不安の根本原因を見つめ直すようにしています。これは決して簡単なことではありませんが、継続するうちに苦しさが軽減し、努力の方向性も変わってきました。 この経験から伝えたいのは、苦しいと感じるのに頑張り続けているなら、それは「努力が足りない」のではなく「向き合えていない」からかもしれないということです。勇気を持って一度立ち止まり、今の努力がどこに向かっているのか、また何から目をそらしているのかを考えてみることが重要だと思います。 皆さんももし同じような苦しみがあれば、逃げるための努力に陥っていないか振り返り、必要ならば周囲の人や専門家の助けを借りてみてください。心の健康を守ることが、真の前進には欠かせません。
