Does this feel close to something you’ve lived? Tell your own part. What you tell becomes one page, yours to keep.
The situation
An ordinary activity can become difficult to approach when anxiety builds beforehand, leading to stalling, racing thoughts, and urges to avoid it.
What it’s like
The person may manage once they begin, while the fear returns before the next attempt.
