Hi Debra,
Thanks a lot for sharing your story. Could the anxiety come from any other cause other than current events? Or maybe the anticipation of this new period in your life is causing the anxiety? This is not comparable to your situation but I have been waiting for a SS resolution here in my country for a while. In the last two weeks I received a positive communication and saw other indicators in my case online that it is moving in the right direction. I should be less anxious but, I am even more anxious about it. And I am not sure why.
Ok, I wish you the best for this new period
