Sometimes, I'm an idiot

[terrie]

I stopped taking my meds. I kept justifying it, thinking "Hey, I'm fine." Never mind hat the problem is never about the short term. So an otherwise minor correction at work has sent me into a bit of a tail spin of obsession and anxiety. Ugh. You'd think I'd have learned by now, but there's always that need to test the limits every couple of years. Bah.

The thing is? This is exactly what happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I coast along fine for a few weeks and go "Hey, maybe I'm in 'remission'." It's been known to happen. Never mind that I am not a late developer of anxiety. I've been high-strung my whole damned life. And it got worse as I got older, so, for me, better simply means less worse. Something happens and instead of seeing it as an opportunity for improvement, I completely undermine my own self-worth.

*hugs* But!! You're doing great with the recognition this time. Back on the meds, you should even out, and things will smooth out again.

I have faith in you. :) You rock.
