Dear World: next time Im totally freaked out about everything and getting desperate about all of my very real physical pain and depressed about absolutely everything, please just try to remind me that I do in fact have an anxiety disorder (yes, a very very real one) and, for the time being (temporarily), make sure I am properly medicated for that disorder (in addition to continuing to seek more natural ways, like controlled breathing, meditation, and yoga.) I think a big part of my problem is thinking that if I feel a little better right now, I dont need those meds anymore, Im all better, Ill never need to take some steps backwards and deal with the same old problems again. So I forget how to. Complacency takes over. And then a few stressful things happen and Im running around like a chicken with my head cut off, unable to process anything or even to just to realize that - hey, I went through this before. Its OK. I can do this. Self talk. Straight talk with the man in the mirror. Stuart Smalley didnt even have it half-wrong (and, I guess, neither did Michael Jackson).
