I suffer from intense anxiety and haven´t been able to go out for nearly 2 years because just seeing people wearing masks, waiting in line for basic services, or being put under scrutiny just because I want to buy something I like from a store causes me to get dizzy. I KNOW I need meds, but I don´t want to take them.
Here is something you said that resonates with me:
"What if society collapses and you can’t get it anymore, what are you gonna do?"
I always think about people in other times when pills were not ubiquitous. What did they do? Well. They had a rough time but that never stopped them, right?
Anxiety is awful and I’m so sorry you have to deal with it. The shitty thing about mental illness is that you can never escape it. When you have a physical illness, you can do things to help you forget about it for awhile. When you have a mental disorder, it’s always there…you can’t escape it. If you ever need anything or want to talk, let me know! ❤️

Anyway. Great read, as usual.
