I was less anxious today. I took a Vistaril early this morning. That helped me make it to my appointment.

Horrible morning. Dragged myself to therapist's office. Was going to go to the hospital but changed my mind.

My anxiety had switched off or turned itself down when my depression picked up. I would much rather have just the depression than any amount of anxiety.

This evening I've been looking at some YT videos about depression and how to deal with it and one I came across mentioned some things you might do to sabotage yourself in getting better and then I realized that because I don't really believe things will get better (not because they can't, but because I don't believe in myself to do whats necessary), I just don't know why I bother. So I do sabotage myself. The future doesn't look very good, even if I could do something about it. So, my anxiety is ticking up, right before bed. That's the best time for that. Trying to sleep when your brain is running full out. Fun.

I must have messy handwriting to tick both the depression and anxiety boxes. Who do I talk to about a do over?

Earlier today I seemed to have fallen asleep for a little while, & I eventually awoke, feeling better, & not feeling the dread I had felt earlier. I felt so glad about that. Now I'm wondering about my tomorrow?

I couldn’t remember if I have taken my night time medicine so I skipped just in case I did take my medicine.

Sounds like what I been experiencing myself. They say that it start with a bad thought that spins out of control.

I had some really bad fears today, for reasons I
probably shouldn't tell about here. But I am better right now. However, I can't pretend to myself all the time that those bad things won't happen again.
