I’ve been anxious my entire life, but lately, it’s been intensifying more than usual. I’m unsure why — allergies? perimenopause? my new contraceptive pill? — but for whatever reason, it’s bothersome. I’ve attempted my usual methods, like taking long walks, spending time with my children, and diving into books I love. And still!
One thing that did help last night was watching comedy sketches. This one with Maya scatting in PEN15 really made me laugh, so much so that Anton came into my room to ask what was so funny; and when I showed him, he enjoyed it, too.
What has made you laugh recently? And what helps when you’re feeling anxious? I’d love to hear…
P.S. Five more funny things, and three hilarious TV scenes.
