🍵Sometimes, it looks like a full calendar🍵
For me, it shows up as self-isolation wrapped in “just needing rest” Or filling every evening with tasks so I don’t have time to feel anything too deeply. I tell myself I’m being productive, or just tired, or that I’ll reach out “tomorrow.” But if I’m honest… it’s avoidance. Avoiding discomfort
