Yup, I get that feeling allot. I can't do the side-by-side comparisons it would take to know for sure, but I think each round of it is a different mix of ? --- ? Do we have a name for ^it^?

These days I am *just* letting it be okay that I don't know. More and more, I believe that knowledge is over-rated. ^It^ is what ^it^ is, whether I understand ^it^, or knot.

I know what you mean. Right now I'm riding waves of nervousness and then excitement, fear and then hope... So much up in the air and waiting to take form.

I had this problem many of times. I hate having the numb feeling because I feel that I'm in another world. I am feeling that way today, right now.

Hi Time. I can definitely relate to the anxiety. Have you thought about speaking to a counselor, pastor or trusted friend? Praying for you!

Yep, I don't think that feeling ever goes away. Then some financial disaster occurs and I just fall apart. Had a maple tree uprooted by weather. 3000 to get it taken care of. No way do I have it so it will lay there as one more f***ing thing I don't have money for and can't take of myself. Getting harder and harder to ignore. I'll find myself living in the streets soon.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
