No, it’s not about the news or anything in particular. It likes to pop up at random times and tells me the sabertooth tiger is coming.

I'd been feeling better than usual but the anxiety came crashing back, today. I'm going to take a chill pill, crawl in to bed and snuggle with the kidcats.

I know, anxiety can come flying out of left field sometimes. Hanging out with the kittens sounds like a plan!

Anxiety and depression has been through the roof. Dealing with a lot right now and feeling very lost.

even thinking of going outside makes me start to panic. I'm stuck, in more ways than one. Thank goodness for the internet. It's how I stop my thoughts from spiraling.

One of the things that pissed me off is done. I should feel better.
If I complain I sound whiney as what is pissing me off has to be done by me. No one else is available which is why I'm it. And I would feel worse if I didn't do it.
Ok what does that mean?

My latest health worry is Mr X having a tooth cyst biopsied. Health anxiety is terrible. I hope you're okay and things go well tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you.

Back to normal levels of hypervigilance anxiety and depression etc. which is manageable with MM. Life can be pretty damaging.

Been watching Love, Robot + Death on Netflix which is perversely calming if dystopian imagery helps put your mind at ease. Some of the dialog has razor sharp wit. It is just wayyyyyyyy dark. Balance that out with some Young Sheldon and the world seems brighter.

22. Does your anti-depressant help with anxiety?
Sun Feb 18, 2024, 11:50 AM

The only things I've found to genuinely help are meditation, benzodiazepines, or heavy indica marijuana strains. And benzodiazepines aren't particularly good for long term use.

I also take benzos, which do help. If i take the anti depressent early, like b4 dusk, i fall asleep at 6 pm. I just started, so maybe it will.
