I must say it was hard this year not sure why?, My Anxiety/Dep was at a all time high?, Scary high, My mind felt like mud slush, my body wouldn't catch up if that makes sense. I felt the demands to be social overwhelming, and now i need some down time..I cant do another social visit or see anyone, anyone else relate?. The feelings scare me when they get that intense, and I'm glad i know when to say No?. I wish this stuff got easier or went away, idk why it doesnt year after year. Happy new year also...I think for new year i will keep low indoors.
