I've always had anxiety problems, ALWAYS, but in the past few years I've been more non-functional due to it than any other time in my life. I can get up and go to work, but I have no spoons left to do anything else. Don't check my snail mail for weeks at a time. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to reach a point that I am not able to work anymore. Sometimes I hope I do. I have a laundry list of other mental issues besides the anxiety, but those are for future posts.
But on the flip side, this has also been a period of intense healing and learning. I've found so much help in books, podcasts, therapy, meditation (severely need to do more of that). I love these times in my life when epiphanies come on fast and strong. Part of me wishes I had found this podcast when it started, and part of me is happy that I have so many to catch up on!
I had written what I think was a better intro while I was at work, but the break room computer logged me off when I tried to post it. So you get this one instead!
