I've had a very looping thought headspace of late. And, probably no coincidence, I have had the desire to "bunker down".
And I'm going to just look at those phrases for a sec....
Does the word "loopy" - as in "feeling a bit crazy"- come from the experience of thoughts looping around? My thoughts are going round and round on repeat lately. And it's not a nice repeat. I've lost a lot of confidence in myself, and my inner critic is loud.
Then there's the bunkering down phrase. I realised the other day that the term is actually hunkering down. Huh. I have always said bunkering. Maybe it's the influence of unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?? (love that show). I think it's capturing something about the social isolation and cutting off the world effect of being in a bunker. Facco and I very much "bunker down" when we are trying out fertility stuff.
So that's me at the moment - a loopy bunker-er.
