A difficult one

[stringlights]

Today has not been the best day. Body and mind conspired against me and I've spent most of the day not able to do anything. Pain levels left me either in bed or on the couch, fatigue had me napping. I have no attention span so distracting myself has been difficult, out came the Harry Potter movies

Two of my best friends, Jessica & Ashley, came around to see me this afternoon after I messaged them to say I was low. They came, bringing coffee and donuts, snuggled up under blankets. We watched Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone - and didn't complain when I fell asleep on them.

I've played around a bit online this evening. Found an anxiety support online community, commented on the most recent post... then looked at the date and realised it was 18 months old. Now feeling very anxious about ability to interact with people and failure at internet etiquette :(

And now I think I'm going back to bed

I think I know the community you mean, and I've sometimes regretted how quiet it's gotten, so if anything, I would admire you for commenting on an older entry! But sometimes anxiety seems to hit especially hard when there's anything else to soften you up for it, and it sounds like you've had plenty today. :(

I hope you don't mind my adding you -- between your lovely comment and the fact that you and amovingtarget are already subscribed to each other, you seem like a cool person to know!

I didn't think of it like that - that's an excellent way of turning the anxiety on it's head and seeing it from another POV. Thank you! :)

And of course I don't mind you adding me, I've added you back and thank you again :D
