I have some changes going on in my life right now, the least of which is changing T, and I'm having anxiety and panic attacks daily. It's to the point that my chest is hurting. I know it's anxiety. I've been trying to stay busy to keep my mind occupied but the anxiety lingers. Waiting for things to happen is difficult. I know that once I start making the changes, the anxiety should let up. At least I hope so. It doesn't help that I'm not using any of the skills that I learned to help with the feelings. Too much time on my hands...

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
