I've been experiencing an increase in my anxiety lately and I've been finding Claire Weekes some what helpful. However she talks a lot about agoraphobia and it just doesn't apply to me since I have no problem leaving my house or being out in public. I've just been having a lot of thoughts...

Well I had fun for the first time in years. We went to visit some friends at a lake and I actually had fun. I'm still on a high. I haven't let go in years. I didn't fuss over my migraines, the sleeping situation, the food, the heat, or the drive. We arrived Friday and on Saturday I fought a...

The dance of the symptom imperative. On the move. On the run. Divergence. Red herring. My new symptom imperative is that me brain will try to create worry about things not worth worrying about or not pertinent to right now to distract me from bigger realities or situations where I find myself...
