Bank Holidays, routines are scrapped , libraries etc closed, if weather is good we keep hearing of traffic heading for the beach , with anxiety change in routine is disturbing.
I love GN but we read of plans for spending time with families , this is how it should be , but for me memories of times with my family come to mind.
For me ,perhaps because of past circumstances , I have experienced so many different ways of spending bank holidays,
Marilla the cursed ‘what if’s’ are plaguing you ,
Dawn most of the time I am able to tell myself , stop that thought’, if thoughts of happier times creep in , I dismiss them with ‘that was another country’,
Today I think, ‘just one more day and back to normal (what ever normal is) .
Calming anxiety is the hardest and I do think it is change in routine which raises our anxiety.
