Wow, well, I am glad you had such a nice, anxiety-free day. Sounds perfect. I do hope it continues. Reminds me of how I felt when I briefly took lyrica to help manage my own anxiety. (unfortunately it killed my memory and impaired my speech too much to continue on, and had horrid withdrawal effects). I'm sorry your anxiety is generally so bad, though. Anxiety is the worst. :(
I've had crippling social anxiety most of my life. It comes and goes over the long term, but generally as a trend it gets better as I get older. The balance of additive trauma vs. extinguishing has generally been in my favor over the long run.
It gets much better when I'm in Girl Mode, but sadly my life doesn't allow for that much these days. It's a catch 22 because if I could be in Girl Mode 24-7 I could do the things I need to advance my life much more easily, and I'd have other options open up for me as well.
I'm working on it, but Saturday was very helpful in a lot of ways that I haven't been able to put into words yet.
