my anxiety goes into overdrive bc i think something more is going on than what it really is. Trying to work through it. Staying off google. I hate to be by myself while it going on bc i literally think I’m going to die when it’s happening.

Steadying support while you survive the wave, JP. When my own anxiety waves reach tsunami levels, it's the best I can do to find something to hold on to and just breathe.

You are not alone, JP. Sitting quietly with you.

Yes, anxiety will do that to us. We feel so overwhelmed in the moment by the feelings. I hope you can breathe, rest and ride through it. You are not alone and you can get through this.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
