What No One Talks About

Have you ever felt stuck? Not just indecisive, but like you’re continuously circling around and around the same thought, the same action or hesitation, the same invisible block… over and over again?

And weirdly, no one seems to talk about this. Not that you can’t but almost like, essentially everyone feels this way but we’ve silently agreed to pretend everything is fine. We’re all productive. Coping. Pushing forward.

Oof… and have I been there. Deep in it for long periods of time too. It is probably one of the most frustrating, confusing, and even isolating experiences — especially when you feel like you know better.

If I could attempt to put the feeling of stuck into words, it’s like: I know exactly what I need to do, but there is this invisible force field that is impossible to break through, holding me back.

I would seem to find myself doing anything else instead. I might have even had time to do the thing that I wanted to do, but I didn’t.

And when I didn’t, my inner narrator turned volume up to full blast. And she was not nice.

How Being Stuck Showed Up in My Life

Some days it was feeling so overwhelmed I was stuck in a freeze state and did nothing. Or other times I would overschedule my life to the point where I ‘couldn’t find time’ to do something as simple as cooking dinner or do the thing to take care of myself. Or I was spiraling from information overload where every wellness expert had a different take and suddenly I couldn’t do anything because perfectionism took over. So I did nothing.

Even the simplest task of writing one line in my journal, ten words, maybe even five felt impossible. I couldn’t even open my journal when it was sitting right there.
