After what was one of the worst days of my life (I haven't had that bad of an "attack" in years now ) I'm still feeling on edge and I kind of feel that confusion and exhaustion that you feel after having a bad day of anxiety but I'm able to function today I had a man st work start talking to me about atoms and molecules and advances in science and I had to stop him and say " I'm sorry my brain is functioning at a 1+1=2 kind of level tonight as opposed to my awe and wonder about physics ,chemistry . I was just … There … And that's really what I felt like I didn't have the energy to think I was zombie like lol anyways I read this book recently and in this book they found themselves in what they thought was an abandoned mental institution…. There was a quote on the wall… It said "there is no escape from the prison of the mind" and that hit home with me like you would not believe… That's exactly what this feels like …. A life sentence in a prison you can solve physical problems mental problems are a lot harder to solve if you can work through them at all and even still there is still the chance that some day it could come back again . For example my sister had OCD as a child I remember her having "hand washing" issues as a child and then she was fine …. Until about 3 or 4 years ago and now she is right back to it and her anxiety is through the roof all the time . You can run and you can hide but "there is no escape from the prison of the mind" all you can do it make the most of that sentence…
