My Mental Health

For those of you just joining me I am a mental health advocate. I take my psych meds every day unless there’s a mix up at the pharmacy. I saw my counselor today and do so about once a month. We talk about the stress of my day to day life, my arguments and anxieties, and today we talked about what the US is going to look like in the next four years. I try not to catastrophize and so far our funding hasn’t been cut. But I have friends who have lost work and insurance already. The US never really does austerity and I don’t think we will now. But everything is shaking up and I’m worried about where the people I love are going to land. So it was a pretty typical session: stress, arguments, and anxiety.
