i used to think this was entirely physical illness, but now i have realized it is mental, at least for the most part. i still don't feel well physically however; i am going to vomit, for multiple reasons, too. not to mention, my minimalistic efforts have flown out the window leaving me at the drawing board.
i tell myself, "you can do it; you can do this. just breathe and say it; just say something," but, like clockwork and without fail, i ALWAYS choke up and turn to try and pass by unnoticed no matter the circumstances or opportunities given to me. this will not get easier until i do something about it.
