Thanks, @Armadillo Roll! It helps to know others can relate to this experience. And I’ve always been a daydreamer, too.

For self care I’ve been trying journaling, some art therapy, and a little meditation. I also started reading a book that’s been helping called The Tao of Pooh as an introduction to Taoism. All of these things do help distract me temporarily from everything going on. But the fear just creeps up on me again even on good days with lots of self care. There are times I wish I could just flip a switch and turn my brain off or something.
