Three words: Fighting anxiety again.Random Fact: In 1997 I was diagnosed with a severe case of general anxiety disorder. I was on medication for it for 2 years and then weaned myself off. I haven't been on anything for it since, and I don't care to restart. But lately the anxiety has been eating through me again, and I am kind of a mess.
