Made some visual aids to help me express where I am with my anxiety without having to spend too much energy explaining. Snag these if they're useful.

Saw this on FB. I don't know if this Dr. Doyle is legit, but I feel personally attacked. So there's that.
Post traumatic depression
is frequently fueled by
survivors' reluctance to put
things worth looking forvard
to on the calendar- because
trauma has convinced us
anticipating good things is
pointless & stupid.
Planning fun things can
feel risky when the future
is unknowable.

I think this stabs anyway, but the anxiety disorder twists the knife
Somebody said "Being
overly independent is a
defense mechanism
from constantly being
let down" & I promise
you I felt it in my soul.

The blue jay and the crow sound like they're two old men who like the sound of their anger. But I'm guessing there's just a predator nearby and they're on alert.

Finally found the notebook I wanted for PT exercise tracking but couldn't remember where it was! Yay! These Prismacolor swatches were done with my right hand before the anxiety got to me. I'm going to get this control back. Today I scribbled with my right hand. Very boring, but very necessary.
Square swatches of colored pencils on a dot-grid notebook page with the color numbers below each square. It is so neat and the swatches and handwriting are so consistent it looks like maybe it wasn't done by hand. But it was!
