My therapist told me I may have this along with the anxiety and depression.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.

For what it's worth
When I feel threatened, I make my way to safety with itsy bitsy baby steps. Small steps make the surest escape strategy and often the fastest way through is straight on through the storm. Keep your eye on the prize.
New relationships are a major life event. They change, they evolve around events shared and separately, and they are a challenge. Success is measured in the moments that bring joy and calm.
Anxiety and Depression are a part of my daily routine. They do NOT control my day, they are helpers. On a difficult day, I have some calming routines that make it easier to remain calm and active in the moment. Breathing, gentle motion, and staying hydrated.
You are managing a number of challenges in the same time. Take time to relax and appreciate the joy in the success!
