August 5 – layer on layer

layer on layer
each worry, like a blanket
can’t get out of bed

Sleepless nights, examining, questioning, rationalizing everything on the plate along with items on the way, unforeseen but imagined.

Feel each thought and worry as a blanket on top.

At the first the weight is manageable.

As the layers continue to pile on the weight becomes oppressive.

If allowed, panic could push anxiety out and take over.

Can’t get out of the bed.

Can’t get out from under the layers.

Solution?

Crawl back in.

Burrow under the layers.

Hide.

Hibernate.

Make them go away.
