Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Hi Magic, anxiety often lurks in the background. Staying in the present helps relieve worrying about past or future. By living in the present you focus on only what you are doing in the moment. Grounding can help. Here are some techniques that might help.

I like to treat my anxiety attacks like, "Psychic Flu." I expect residuals after the episode has passed and take extra care of myself for as long as needed until I am fully recovered. Extra care during convalescence goes a long way toward preventing a relapse and/or strengthening my immune system against whatever bug is next in store.

Easy does it, Magic. Don't rush the recovery.

That's great news. Keep writing. Going to the DMV is a nightmare here. The lines are always so long. Make an appointment. I'm still waiting on my extension to come in the mail. Just sit back and wait your turn. Maybe bring a book or magazine to read. Or listen to some music if you have access to headphones. Good luck. Italianmomma4ever

She told me that the guy who raped and beat me 21 years ago now  almost 20 years at that time, was in prison as of a month before that...

    Sometimes, I think I have ODD.  I can be oppositional.  It seems that the only times that I feel like cleaning are when I should be doing something else or I have to go somewhere.  Well, not everytime but most of the time.  Yesterday, I was supposed to be doing online training for work but instead, I decided to work on my kitchen table.  Most of the time, I don't know where to start and give...
