Thanks for asking, @CANDC! I'm doing okay.

I understand this very well: "not let myself become part of the problem by getting frustrated or angry."

I tend to be not too empathic, so I'm a bit shielded by the trauma of medical issues. But the job can be stressful.

I get most anxious about money. I'm frugal, so I can cope with tight finances. I don't have a lot in savings to fall back on, but we have a Care Credit card account that provides 0% APR on medical, dental and veterinary bills. And I have good credit, so I can tap into home equity or qualify for 0% APR offers.

I do meditation and breathwork. I have a sleep disorder, so I fall asleep very (too) easily.

I underwent a neurological evaluation in September and was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. So I started a low dose of Effexor and began talk therapy in October.
