Worried about my friend still, who is in the path of Irma. I did get to speak with her today. I hope everyone here stays safe too.

Today, I stayed home for most of the day. Going anywhere for long has been triggering anxiety and exacerbating the racing thoughts, dissociation, and feelings that I've been struggling with. I've been trying to do all the things I'm supposed to do as far as coping goes.

I wish I can escape everything that seems to be following me. In addition to all of this, my self-esteem is getting worse--big time--but luckily, it did help to mention a few things to a friend, without going to detail with her too much. I feel that I scare people off, if I tell them too much. Nobody in my family knows how to handle anything that involves "emotions." I am glad I don't have anywhere I need to go tomorrow, since I can't handle it at the moment, but on the other hand, it's hard being alone with all these thoughts. Just trying to get by.
