Current Events > Anxiety is sneaky

(+) Yeah! (+)

It just chooses the most vulnerable times to fear its ugly head.

True.

Just gotta remind yourself your brain is playing tricks on you. Easier said than done.
But it helps to be self-aware.

I have to add, this time of year doesn't help. If it seriously cold where you are your body is sending all sorts of anxiety hormones, for lack of a better term, which only compounds things. That and a near-complete lack of sunlight. All things that consider against your mental well being. It is almost a healthy response to an unhealthy situation.

Learning to recognize the triggers can be very helpful when riding the wave.

Also, and always. Sleep well. Whatever it takes, sleep well.

I agree. But you have to look at it with a sober mind.
In this case, when I say sober I mean...take a second and take yourself out of it, just long enough to tell yourself, you are overreacting. It sucks, but you just have to ride it out. It doesn't solve anything really, but it helps to get you over the low-lows.

Agreed. Take a simple sleeping pill if you have to. There is no shame in that.
If you don't get good or even reasonable sleep, everything else suffers....everything.

Suzi-Q will control the sleep. (Quetiapine) ask for it.
