scratchings

March 19 update.

Still around! My anxiety has been off the charts lately and it's really derailed my ability to get any sort of writing done. But I have been managing to work on other things: house maintenance, a small digital toy (will try to link it here when I can), therapy.

My current goal is to reinforce my positive coping strategies as regards anxiety and panic attacks, and dig deeper into what's driving my anxieties so I can fight off the thoughts or behaviors bringing it about. I'm finding that I'm stressing out needlessly over a lot of things that are either out of my hands completely, or someone else's problem. For very little gain, if any.

Which sucks, but it's good to know.

It's ironic, too, since I'm quite ready to suggest to others that they recognize what is and is not within their control and adjust their focus/concern appropriately. Easier said than done, clearly.

But things are okay. They really are. I may not always feel like it, but I'm doing as fine as I need to.
