Holiday Stress

[vangogh74]

Add Holiday stress to anxiety disorder and what do you get? A whole lot of anxiety. I'm practicing calm breathing techniques, I'm taking my meds, I'm taking increased ativan (not more than allowed by my physician). I am not drinking. I am trying to give myself extra grace. It is not easy.
