Uncouth, I'm glad you wrote. Ditto to others' comments regarding smoking and going somewhere new.
Generally, I find anticipatory anxiety and fear to be difficult to bear and counteract. I try to keep that in mind when facing a daunting task (I said I try). With all you've been through in the past two years, I imagine you must feel pretty raw.
You're a warrior--don't forget that. Practice acts of self-kindness, even if at first they seem forced. Over time one can cultivate new habits, and the terror
and the awful criticism the world can
elicit will fade in vividness and size.hug to you,
fb
Does your pdoc understand your anxiety level?
