Not enough time - anyone else being run by this?
If I sit with it, I can see a swarm of bees in my brain, and there is a real resistance to being idle and exploring it. I think if I were to explore it maybe inside it would be avoiding a sense of emptiness and this might relate to a lack of fulfilling deep and meaningful relationships. Perhaps it covers up anxiety too. There is a comfort in not having enough time, I know that all the running around for mum who is ill and needs help has alleviated that sense of emptiness/lack of purpose (since I moved back into my own house after renting with friends) as I have a role (rescuer) to fulfil however it is not getting to the heart of what I value for myself (selfish v service). This relates to an earlier post about stress and belly fat. I see that stress with running around for mum and dealing with her belief systems has me not eating well and also reaching for a drink, and that with no specific plan it is easy to grab something quick when I run between appointments with her and my clients. There is also an element of not wanting to be perceived as a bad daughter by ensuring I am doing all I can to be responsible about getting her the best healthcare. I guess I have been reluctant to look into exploring the ins and outs of deep and meaningful relationships because I also identify as a loner. I guess the identity of loner doesn't need to exclude close relationships. I am comfortable 121 with people, but find crowds stressful and also due to a hearing issue, can't hear well when there is alot of noise. I hope in sharing this, perhaps AI *when available, can help me get more specific and reframe this. One does see how there are several layers to unpack with all this. I am really just thinking out loud, and if anyone has insights please share.
