Yes people would have been upset that I used the day but it was way worse when I got sick. I always think back to my first episode like if I had just taken a day off this might not have ever even happened because mine was stress based. Just my thoughts.
As far as motivation you can still have awesome plans at home. Maybe set up some time coloring while listening to music and having a favorite snack….if you can’t get there yourself ask for help from family or irl friends…like I really need a cake [emoji513] or something.

Found out that fear of going crazy has a name. It's called Phrenophobia. And it looks like it is linked to anxiety--though it can have it's roots in other mental disorders. My anxiety and panic attacks have been out of control, for some reason unbeknownst to me! So I am assuming that is the cause of mine. It helps that there is a name.
T said I am not going crazy. She said I have a severe mental illness and I am going to have ups and downs with emotions and I am going to have ups and downs with coping skills and hopefully this down that I am in will end soon.
I am probably going to take a day or two off of work. I will talk to my Dad tonight and see what is on his calendar (since I don't want to be home by myself) and schedule a day or two off of work to try to recuperate from this darkness.
