@brightwings- That sounds dreadful. I actually felt like that yesterday. I think that talking about your history yesterday might have triggered some of the anxiety. Hopefully it will dwindle in a few days or less. Delivering your bread?

No, speaking about my issues does not give me anxiety cuz I beat those suckers.
This anxiety has been an ongoing challenge since I got off effexor. Last dose was jan, 2018.
I believe the first step in handling anxiety is to recognize it then do something. My anxiety was well controlled with CBD, 2400 mg a month. This month I could only get 600 mg because of availability.
So my action today is to drive an hour each way to the social security office to get my original disability papers and 3 1099's. The disability documents will give me 60% off and my CBD will be shipped directly to my home each month. The 1099's will give me a nice chunk of change for my deposits on my new place to rent. It seems when you hit 65 and are renting, you can apply to have portion of the tax dollars the owner paid returned to you. I have 3 years I can turn in but need the 1099's first.
It got cold here again and the temp will be 38 tonight. So that cold be part of it again. I have one heater going and will pull out the second one before I leave to go to the SS office.
Smiling and looking forward to this beautiful drive I have in front of me with all the plants, trees and lilacs in full bloom. Bright wings....
