Nightmares have been a part of my life since this began. My subconscious is not handling this like an adult. My shrink told me that dreams fall into two categories, "fear" or "wish" dreams. I'm wishing for the "wish" dreams to return. But as long as we are all kids on a school bus driven by a drunk driver I'm not holding out much hope. VOTE! #NovemberRemedy

Ah, I would LOVE more wish dreams. I’m hoping the horror of this moment can push us to admit we need to rebuild completely. 🙏🤪⚡️

"Sitting in terror holds us trapped in anticipation of the most horrible thing, without really enduring it. "

I love this description, it really resonated with me as someone with anxiety. My anxiety often manifests as a feeling of paralysis-- of being so overwhelmed with fear and dread that I can't move. But when I do make myself move, I always feel better. We're facing the worst right now, and I have found that the best way for me to keep from catastrophizing, is, as always, action.

ALWAYS. And so easy to forget. The second I can get myself unfrozen, I’m free. Forever in the process of shortening the time span...
