Glad to see you started this thread. Hope I am welcome here. My anxiety increased lately and I have felt like I have nothing to hang onto. Heard some hymns on tv and even though I am not religious at all I found some comfort in hearing the singing. Felt like I was less alone.

Last night a bat was in my apt. and scared the heck out of me. I mean a flying bat. I was worried about my pets and trying to shoo it into another room and let it out the window but it wouldn't go. I didn't want to hurt it either so I didn't hit it or anything like that. It was flying around my living room for about 10 minutes and my birds were sitting there very quietely. Finally the bat flew into the kitchen and I closed the kitchen door so it could not get out of there. Called the managers and they came with a big cloth and went in the kitchen and found it hanging upside down from the kitchen vent and put the cloth around it, and took it outside and let it go. Whew!! I keep thinking other bats are going to be flying in here but that was my first bat. I went into panic mode when I realized it was a bat but yet I tried to keep calm on the outside.

Anyways, I am also on a new med. to help me not to drink or drink much less and it is working but the side effect is that it makes me very nervous, too.

Well, that is my check in.
