I’d like to make it a year but idk , we’ll see. It’s stressful. I took my propranolol though so hopefully my anxiety isn’t too bad tonight. My mood is stable though. I’m taking my meds. My biggest stress source right now is work and a lot of my anxiety is from that at the moment.
@Blue_Bird I don't remember what you do for work, but you can think of it as providing a valuable service to your clients. You're making someone's life a little bit easier through what you do.

It might help you tolerate your job in a more positive way.

You can disconnect, but I think that'll leave you feeling empty and tired, making it harder to cope.

I wish the best for you
