The Come Down

The comedown. The dreadful day after where you feel lower than you were before the big event. It’s easy to question why you even did this.

I’ve had more comedown’s this summer than I’ve had in the past year. Maybe that’s a dramatic over exaggeration but that’s certainly what it feels like.

Learning how to party without alcohol doesn’t mean you never have a hangover. I still have the lack of sleep, the empty social battery, the bone deep fatigue. However, my body isn’t detoxing a substance that has always made me feel 10x worse than the night before when I felt 100x better.

For that I’m grateful. Because I am learning how to have an easy comedown. To remind my anxiety I’m safe. To tell my racing brain, nothing is wrong. This too shall pass.

In this week’s episode you will meet me in the thick of the comedown from my first ever festival. I feel a little embarrassed about this one because it’s all over the place, it takes me practically the full episode to get to some juicy nuggets but that’s the reality of the days we don’t feel our best.
