I had a busy several days, lots of socializing, crowds, driving, food, and late nights.

I managed to stay present and tried not to get overwhelmed by all the activity.

I had to sort of step back from myself and take events one at a time instead of together, all at once, as they happened. It helped, and nobody noticed that I was processing slower. There was a lot going on and everyone around me was distracted.

I got my car serviced today. Thankfully, the service was covered by the extended warranty I got with the car. It took 3 hours and I waited for it, but the time passed quickly.

I had to go shopping on the way home. Anxiety was up, but I managed. I think it helped that I redid that thing where I take things one at a time while I shopped.

Still feeling low, but that's not new. Anxiety is up and down yet I seem to have managed today.
