Sorry to hear that WonderfullyWeird!
I hate when my anxiety gets that high... I start feeling useless which makes it worse, and then my friends intervene and say I'm not useless which is just embarrassing... (((((WW)))) I hope today is better
5+ as a breaking point sounds smart. I think I'm going to try that when I go over the scale next. Thank you!
