If that's true, I'd hope that would be the primary focus today, but please don't neglect to mention all of your dxs.

This is good advice. I can’t function well at all with all these stupid racing thoughts that seem to make me feel like I am losing my mind. I am so forgetful. I honestly think I flushed my dental night guard down the toilet. I remember I took it out of my mouth in the morning, rinsed it, put Kleenex under it to dry but was still holding it, looked out the bathroom window for some reason, and I never saw it again. I searched the bathroom top to bottom. It is tiny too. I searched all the trash. I searched all the trash bags waiting to be picked up very thoroughly (gag!). No nightguard. And that thing wasn’t cheap either. I have broken and worn away so many teeth from grinding and clenching my jaw so tight, it is not even funny. I need a new nightguard, or I will end up breaking more teeth. I just know it. But we cannot even afford that.
And I definitely need refreshers on breathing exercises for panic attacks and severe anxiety.
Update:
Changed into jeans and from a tank top to a short-sleeve T-shirt. Looks less bony, not as obvious ED, I hope. Few more minutes to wait.
