I know how it feels when fear and anxiety take over. I try to manipulate myself, and when I start having overwhelming fears, I try to remind myself that it's only catastrophic thinking, and sometimes that helps a little bit, at least for a little while. But sometimes there's nothing I can do about my anxiety disorders but call my pdoc, and she ups my meds. I know that you are dealing with situational anxiety right now, but could you call your pdoc and ask about better med control?

I do a lot of texting because I can edit myself better. If someone seems upset with me, I can always look back over the text to try to figure out where things went awry. Is texting an option for you?

I try not to mention my anxiety or bipolar disorders to anyone except one or two people. It's hard not to share that part of myself, but I find that people push away if I do.

I wish there was some way I could ease your fear and anxiety
