Anxiety AF: What Happens When Your Brain Opens Too Many Tabs (And How to Softly Land)

Ashlee Cox • October 29, 2026

The Ashlee Unscripted Overwhelm, Stress and Anxiety Book Bundle.

If you’re lucky it’ll strike when you are at home in a quiet space alone.


 If you’re doubly lucky, there will be a nice, chilled glass of wine on the table next to you when it happens.


However, Script-Breakers, if you are in any way similar to me, it will strike out of the blue and wherever it damn well wants to. 


It will start with a weird desolate sensation in your heart and spread to your stomach, which will trigger the need for a tragic sing-along to your choice of emo music and end with your brain feeling fuzzy as your heart seems to throw up and tears squeeze themselves out of your eye-sockets.


It will feel like a compulsion and your body will straight up call mutiny in its impulsive need to betray you. 


There are no commands that work to halt the roar of the emotions that will come to the surface and unleash themselves in an insane bid to embarrass you in public or to plunge you deeper into despair.


And the irony is this - The despair is the safe part.


Once there, you can gain some sort of control over the floodgates and can work to close them just a little. 


Once there, you can feel the ice threatening to glaze over your heart and in many ways you welcome the numbness, the cold and the misery.


The breakdown from stress, overwhelm and /or anxiety is different for everyone.


 It can be a pain-wracked, silent crying jag that ends with you forcing yourself into the shower and passing out from the floaty feeling of alcohol pulsing through your veins.


In other cases, it’s an awful, loud, thrumming thing, that is animalistic in its force, strength and power, and there is nothing you can consciously do about it, other than hold on for the ride of insanity and physical releases of aggression when it hits down.


Both scenarios point to just how much you’ve been avoiding the feelings, or the situation as well as how much your body and mind are over your emotional avoidance tactics.


When confronted with distasteful or unwanted feelings, situations and people, our minds try to save us from pain- like we’re naturally coded to do-, but that can lead us to doing our level best to repress or redirect those emotions.


Unfortunately, the more we resist them, the more they persist, and gain in momentum, frequency, power, brute force as they will lay siege to your body…. until you let them out.


You don't need another list of high-pressure 'self-care habits' to add to your to-do list. 



You just need a soft place to land.


Our Book Bundle for Overwhelm, Stress and Anxiety fits right into this exact moment when your brain is running too many open tabs, decision fatigue sets in and you really just need somewhere soft to land.

The Quiet Creative Reset

When the sun is out and the flowers are in bloom, the birds are flying high in the sky and you feel like immersing yourself in a world that lets your imagination roam free, while also feeling like your body is calming…its time to grab your markers or coloring pencils and let your hands stay busy, while your brain slows down. 

Freewriting

Sometimes all you really want is a blank page.


A space that asks nothing of you, nothing for you to analyse, nothing for you to answer to.


A space that is all yours. And sometimes all you want to do is Rage journal.


Let all the pent up emotions out.


 Give them free reign to manifest as scribbles on a page.


 It does not have to make sense, be perfect or anything. It only has to be real, emotionally charged and flooding the page. 

The Evening Release

Whether you’re curled up on the couch or about to get into bed after a long day, The Night Script Journal brings that me-time energy to your bed time routine.


 Finish your skin care routine, open up the journal and in around 3 minutes, release the day by allowing unfinished thoughts and mental noise out of your head.


Recording the things from the day that were worth remembering and also consciously deciding what you are setting down that can wait until morning.

Paperback
