I'm really struggling at the moment to keep my head above the sea of anxiety; a combination of my OCD being really bad due to the pandemic, fear that my cancer will come back, and a strange mystery illness last week has my adrenaline levels at a constant high, and not in a good way. Going back to work this week has also added a lot of stress to the mix.

I've made an appointment to see my psych but the soonest I could get was mid March, so I'm just trying to keep myself distracted and hold it together for the next 6 weeks.

I apologise in advance if this stress manifests in any annoying rants or grumpiness on here, I'll do my best to try not to.

When you've been moving forward for years, the tools to be able to do the same for six weeks are already there, even if the road ahead is uphill. Just take a deep breath when you need it (both metaphorically and literally).

Thanks, you're absolutely right, since I have done it before, regaining lost progress should come a lot faster and easier the second time around. I reckon things will really start to get better if my one-year cancer scans come back all clear in April, and once I get my covid shot, that will remove two big causes of my current stress. Seeing my Psych next month will hopefully help as well. Just gotta hang in there for a little longer.
