progress

With tapering, I've realized that I need to push myself and make cuts even though I don't feel ready yet. 

I'm never going to feel ready. It's always going to be challenging, but I've learnt that challenges are like work: they expand to fill the space you allow them. If I make space for my anxiety, it will take up that space and more. It will take my whole damned life. But if I push back, I will take my whole damned life.
