I call it "worst case scenario hell" in which I can go from zero to Apocalyptically Bad Outcome in .0018 seconds in virtually every situation.

Keep reminding yourself it's your jerkbrain fuckin' witcha... not objective reality, no matter how much the cortisol in your system argues agin that.

Take walks outdoors if you can. Or just sit outdoors someplace pleasant, and concentrate on steady breathing for a few minutes.

Therapy does help.

This, too, can pass.

Holding you in the Light.

sympathetically,
Bright
