I don’t know if I’m particularly just feeling down with anxiety today due to lack of sleep since Saturday, or if it’s the disheartening advice from the swimming coach, but I just feel really down with the expectations of everything at present.

My nerves have never been this bad before, and my anxiety has not been this bad for many years. What is it that I am nervous and anxious about? I can’t tell – I just have a sick unpleasant feeling in my stomach all the time. Is it that I’m worried about failing, or maybe I’m not doing enough or the right training? – maybe a mixture of all of these worries? I’m a natural worrier anyway but I’ll try and catch up on my sleep tonight and remain positive like I have been a lot lately 🙂
