Marten in the Pines

Chest elephant

i have been feeling insane amounts of anxiety and stress the last few weeks or so. I wouldn’t consider myself a relaxed person but more of just a person that is usually at a comfortable stasis.

However, recently it feels like a circus elephant is standing on its tippy toes right in the middle of my rib cage. I imagine it’s due to many personal life changes and developments, and working 10-12 hour days for weeks now…
but this is a feeling i am very uncomfortable with, and truth be told its a feeling im pretty annoyed by. its all-consuming while also being deeply boring.

Writing about it is helping, as is a cocktail of vitamins such as Ashwaganda and L-Lysine; but I’m stubborn and would prefer to raw dog life.
