I understand; anxiety can be debilitating at times. I don't remember; are you being treated for anxiety?
If by being treated you mean, trying to take exceptional care of my mind, body and sprit, yes.
I am vehemently opposed to daily meds for personal reasons, but I will resort to an occasional Xanax (I'm talking maybe once or twice a month) if I can no longer bear it. I have been in therapy for anxiety on and off for three decades, and still battle it something awful.
WHEN it actually hits.
Most of the time, I can keep it under control with exercise, eating right, avoiding stimulants, but because I'm so damn energy sensitive, some times it just way lays me and knocks me off my mark.
For days.
And there are some situations that you just can not avoid. I couldn't not do this trip. I scraped by last time by my fingertips, but not this time.
And what frightens me the absolute most about all of this, is how well it served me.
Two sips in and BAM, I was suddenly and finally OK.
