I listen to news radio to keep in touch with the "bigger picture" and feel more connected globally, I have favorite YouTubers I follow, am reading more books, and I come here to Psych Central and post up a storm. I have had two major meltdowns since the beginning of Covid19. My doctor wants me to work on anxiety issues without medication. Good Luck.
Thank You for your kind words. I just want something close to normal. I do journal, I do read a lot more now than previously. I am going to check in with my doc soon.
