Anxiety and depressed, managed for years, dealing actively in therapy, but i had a terrible trigger 2 weeks ago, and it my anxiety had been quietly getting worse each day since.

I did the thing I’m sure you all understand. I thought I was fine. I felt ok, but my husband kept asking me if I was ok. It puzzled me but I just kept saying yes.

Then I started to forget things.
I wanted to make baked potato, but then I blended it in a food processor for some reason.

I spaced out cutting vegetables, and sliced my hand open.

I found myself power scrolling through Instagram when I was supposed to be hanging out with my son.

I had an exam, but I thought it was next week, only to realise 30min before the end time that it wasn’t.

I couldn’t sleep, but couldn’t figure out why.

And then last night, I felt all the anxiety, all at once.

But then I found this sub, and reading about everyone else made me feel less alone.

My therapist is on holidays this week (always the way it pans out isn’t it? Lol), so I called my local help hotline (thank you beyond blue). I’m dealing a little better and I think I should be able to last to my appointment with my therapist next week.

But last night this sub kept me going. I actually managed to fall asleep. If anyone understands how heavenly that is, I’m sure it’s you guys.

Thank you. I hope everyone is coping well
