I'm pretty low about various things right now.

7. I'm overly sensitive as well...

And sometimes it is just exhausting.

BUT, you have been working so hard to get through these past several months, you've had ups/downs/and in betweens. You have gotten through those, you will get through this patch as well. Keep focused on the big picture - your physical health, your mental health, and working yourself to "happy"...but, do not put so much pressure on getting to the "happy" quickly. Happy can be small wins - one day with no anxiety. One day without being affected by the gun nuts. One day where before you go to bed you can look back and say, ok, today was pretty ok. Pretty ok is sometimes a huge thing. Appreciate those when they happen.

Sometimes you sound like me - my friend and I laugh that if we don't have something to worry about or "obsess" over, we don't know what to do. Unstable childhood, always having to be on guard, like you had to be with your father, really impacts your ability to recognize the good and the ok. Try to work really hard to recognize those things, even if it's just a few minutes of good. It all adds up to help you realize that you are making progress.

Hang in there and keep fighting the good fight. We are all pulling for you!
