mh/anxiety (~), self-observation
Have you ever found yourself just getting an anxiety trigger *stuck* in the on position even though you know damn well you've resolved the problem? Like the control panel light won't stop flashing even though you know you cleared the alert?
That's basically been me all afternoon. I'm pretty sure I've run through all the worst-case scenarios on Shemp's paw, the latest tropical storm headed for NOLA, my finances, and none of them are going to happen. Things might actually be roughly OK, by this year's standards.
But I'm still sitting here in defensive mode, and I can't focus because it feels like I'm supposed to do... something... about something...
