Its a real tricky song and dance. One I have seen play out in myself for years. My GAD can send me into a tailspin.... Anyways that is another thread entirely and possibly one for the mental health section of this forum 
I digress I like the way you think! 
I'm tuning to the Mizz lifelong wellness journey.
Recovered/Recovery Maybe I'm in 'Re-Re Covery-edded' LOL.
