I feel scheduled even in my head

Dear Delyara, Stress has changed the way my mind sounds. Everything feels timed. Everything feels pending. Everything feels like it belongs on a list or in a calendar or under a pressure I should already be anticipating. Even when I sit down, I don’t feel unscheduled. I just feel like the next thing hasn’t started yet. There is a kind of stress that doesn’t scream. It organizes your inner life so tightly that there is no emotional room left to breathe in. That’s what I’ve been living in lately.
