I went out on a school night. I drank 2 seltzers and danced for 3 hours at the Dead &Company show. Now my adult brain is criticizing my choices. BUT I HAD A GREAT TIME

@cyanPal2422 Your speaking of how your mind is judging your decisions to have fun your own way but you do not regret the enjoyment you experienced. Sometimes the mind is in conflict with behaviour. Thank you for sharing!

It's amazing how badly our brains can treat us! I've dealt with this form of anxiety my whole life. I've only recently learned to take deep breaths and tell my brain off every now and again. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has really helped me. Usually taking a step back and saying, "if my friend was feeling this way, what advice would I give them?". Still, there are good days and there are bad days where my brain still beats me up.

Ugh, yes!! I'll do that from now on, talk to myself as if I'm talking to a friend. Thank you!
