Amazing how one little thing....

I've been having some great days without an major anxiety / depression issue for the past several weeks. Exercise, eating better, reading, and new coping techniques all seem to have been helping.

Then today I didn't hear from someone who I was supposed to, so I reached out. I got a quick text back but nothing else. And that was enough to start the anxiety. All I want to do now is go home and sit/sleep/cry. I feel like I'm back on square one.

Unlike what the books say, it's not that I'm worried about bad happening to this person - it's just an unnamed dread and feeling of being unwanted.
