I know I've been particularly bitter on here recently. It's no excuse but these past several months have often been really difficult and scary, as you all know. I apologize, I appreciate your patience, and I'm very grateful for the kindness many of you have continued to show me.

It seems like it shouldn’t work but for some reason it seems to tell my anxiety that I can let go of some of the things, the physical act of tearing or (safely) burning it. And it helps me feel a little less “stuck” or trapped. But no matter what, yes, this will pass.
