"I felt totally crazy, but sane at the same time" - Meghan Q Barrett

When my PPA kicked in I would unconsciously go down this rabbit hole of "what ifs" and keep planning. It seemed totally logical and sane one moment and then next moment I felt crazy for spending so much time on a situation that hasn't happened and what I would do IF it happened.

When you get stuck on that anxiety side of the street it is so difficult to cross again. None of the cars are stopping and thoughts keep whizzing by.

One of the most difficult things I found about anxiety is that it does have a positive side, it brings some comfort and a sense of control. Even if just for a moment. And that is what I found to be so difficult about it as well, is that it was helpful for a moment.
