Greetings kind people,

I am currently in a bit of a pickle, kept in a jar filled with exhaustion and desperation. And unfortunately, it’s mostly self inflicted, which is why it’s harder to distance from.

Lately especially I have noticed that my people pleasing tendencies tend to make me angry, but instead of using that anger to stand up for myself, I internalize it and bring myself down. And keeping putting up with the disrespect my partner and my colleagues show me turned into another full-time job.

Unfortunately I am way too old to be behaving like this, so that’s why I‘m asking you, because maybe you‘ve found a way to strip yourself of all that anxiety and speak from the heart.
