Mental Health Support

So far the worst rumination hasn't hit. I received wonderful support here in this group and I am very grateful. I was fortunate and received support from my husband, a good friend, and some "normal" people I know who, while knowing my overloaded behavior wasn't great, thought the treatment I received in turn was really, really bad and uncalled for. That eased the self-hatred just enough that I could carry on with some routine activities and not completely mentally shut down into horrible ruminations (what I was so afraid was coming on). Still not able to deal with mirrors much, but at least I am functional.

I do need to speak with my Dr about how extreme anxiety affects me, these reactions make me wonder if I can ever truly walk around like a normal person without worrying about bad situations.
