Attempting to deal with stress

I’ve never been great at dealing with stress. I have a tendency to overthink, assume the worst and constantly worry, it’s a great combination! This summer has been the most stressful of my life. My sleep has been terrible, I often feel ill and can’t get the knot out of my chest. It’s tiring to say the least. This has been compounded by a loss of time/interest for my hobbies. Cycling has mostly fell to the wayside and programming no longer captures my attention. Video games haven’t really stuck for a while now (though I’ve tried to convince myself otherwise). All to say, these are the reasons things have slowed down on here and also the driving force behind deleting most of my online presence. I’m hopeful things will calm down after August, fingers crossed!
