Feeling manic

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING makes me worry. Working on meditation and mindfulness.

I just mailed my COBRA paperwork, with a $750 check. Cannot get aca if I'm eligible for COBRS, so okay.

The effing paperwork required my SSN and DOB. Plus, my check. There's no way around that to register. I'm so worried about ID theft. I had to mail it yesterday.

I saw my eye doctor during a time my insurance lapsed. They told me they'd bill me, but ignore it until the insurance is reinstated with COBRA. it's been sent to a billing agency. I'll need a new "policy number", so the eye doctor can re-submit. Not sure if there is a new policy number.

I feel crazy and manic today

Take a breath. It's the weekend and you can't do anything until Monday. Give yourself a treat as a reward for taking care of your COBRA.

Good luck.

At a few different points in my life, I was over-whelmed with pressures: work, money, a failing marriage, etc. There were some weekends when all I could do was stick my head in the sand and wait for Monday. It usually helped!

Take care and keep yourself healthy!

85% of our worries never happen. Been keeping track and found out he was right.

Good luck and just keep chipping away at it.

Celebrate your accomplishment!

StRt by taking some good deep breaths. 👍



Remember you cannot cross any bridge until your foot is physically upon it. Trying to do so creates / exacerbates anxiety.

Hmmm.

I am glad you reached out.

Ok, I failed to proof read, this sounds like my unmedicated daily anxiety

Churchill described his depression as a black dog. My anxiety is the same. One issue is solved, and I worry about another!

Hope you're doing ok today
