Just OK
It's very weird, I'm dealing with GAD, symptoms: Anxiety, Depression, and panic attacks. My psychiatrist said it's chronic and permanent. I'm trying to absorb that. I'm trying to be supportive of others and I'm trying to get my projects done for the day. It's just one of those hard days. I actually had a panic attack in one of my dreams the other night. I just feel OK, no joy. Thanks for letting me have a safe space to put this.

I'm sorry the day has been hard. And I hate that I, along with so many others here, can say "I know how you're feeling." It doesn't feel like much of a comfort, I'm sure.
What is it that people are always saying? Don't let the diagnosis define you. I struggle when people say things are permanent. I'm not that pessimistic. I mean, what if there is some kid that's graduating college right now that will walk into a lab, calculate some math problems, mix some chemicals together, and a year from now he will have solved anxiety with one simple pill? I know, it seems silly to say that, but I believe in the future, and I believe that things can always get better.
Take a moment for yourself today. I've discovered that I don't nearly do that enough for myself. I'm so concerned with everything else that I don't enjoy my time, and I don't treat myself or celebrate the good things about me. I'm trying to. At least once per day.
I hope the rest of your day shines brightly and it's a nice, sunny day in Mexico!
@thoughtfulmomma it's a beautiful day here. Sunny and about 72 F. Your words and support brought a smile to my face. Thank you!
