Same, tho I'd it's more about accepting more of these things and striving not to let them dominate me so. The pandemic has been beneficial in testing me, and I've been more level-headed than most (I've been surprised by the anxiety displayed by the Boss in all this). So I'm better in scary times than normal ones.
When going through hell, keep going.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
This was a tough read, especially 101 and PH.
I'm glad to say I'm not as angry or awkward as I used to be, but still struggle with an eating disorder. It's better than it used to be, but it's always going to be here, at least while my mom is still alive. She is the main reason for it, after all. I have actually lost a bunch of weight lately (mainly anxiety related loss of appetite, not anything with binging/purging) and, of course, she is so much nicer to me right now. I will be 50 next month and I *still* can't eat anything unhealthy in front of her.

Same here, I guess it's heartening to know that it can get better.

Well, I just had a complete meltdown in front of my family after a prolonged stressful patch today and probably undid at least 6 months of my therapy. And added 6 months to each of theirs.

Sorry to hear Wolt. Anyone can crack at some point, I hope things have smoothed over a bit.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
