Thank you both for your suggestions and thoughts. I decided to go really easy on myself today.. only one major activity and then back to the comfort of home. Although I suppose I'm "hiding" from my anxiety, I am also using distraction and giving myself a break. So far, zero meltdowns and I'm feeling calm. I'll re-read your advice whenever the suicidal thoughts hit me. You're both very kind, and please know how appreciated this is.. *hugs*
