    last night I finished something very stressful for me, but then my anxiety refused to accept the fact I no longer had to stress about it.

    So I was up half the night with irrational stress dreams and anxious thoughts.

    Why can’t my pride and satisfaction have the stubbornness of my anxiety?!

      in my experience the leftover anxiety buildup will stick around even after the stressor is over. it takes at least a day to clear properly

      gotta take time to start unwinding while the adrenaline is still running around or it’s going to hit you all at once
