Much lower anxiety today and yesterday after having peaked in a really intense way Monday. I think part of it is my intense therapy session Monday evening. Like maybe I got it out of my system or exhausted myself like a child throwing a temper tantrum and wearing themselves out and calming down.

Possible trigger:

I also self harmed on Sunday night, to the point of going to the ER and getting like 40 total stitches and staples. That's less severe than it's been at some points in the past, at least. I think the catharsis (albeit an unhealthy one) from self harming is probably also a significant factor in my anxiety being lower. I generally tend to get some relief from my anxiety for a while after self harming to that degree.
