Why does this happen?

[Dogdoo]

I've been going along nicely for the past few months.

Anxiety and depression in check. Doing really well.

Then, out of the blue today, Wham! Full on anxiety. At work. I don't have emergency meds for this.

Ended up asking to leave an hour early.

I have the pto and have never done this at my new job. I'm not worried I'll get in trouble. No big deal there.

But, like, whhyyyy??? Lol

I know its just part of the disease, etc. And not to read too much into it. But its just discouraging.

I'm sure you all can relate. Which is why I'm here.

I'm no expert, but that's exactly how mine happens too. It's disheartening, but know that your sense of normalcy will return. It usally takes me about a week to rebalance after an attack.

Don't let it consume you ♡

Thank you!

That's what i kept telling myself on the drive home.

It's only one time on one day and it will not last forever.

I have to remind myself that I'm not 'cured', just managing my disease well.

In the grand scheme, I'm doing pretty good.

Tomorrow is a new day!
