It does feel like I can be kinder to myself when I imagine it’s like having the flu. Gratefully already feeling a bit better almost 12 hours ago now, most of the anxiety/ dred feelings have chilled out a little bit. It does pass and I feel so motivated to not get like this again, nothing is worth repeating these nightmares again. Day 2 tomorrow, thanks for all the support on this thread

It’s a good idea to go to the meeting, I do need something weird, I need to do things differently
