tried therapy for the anxiety, here is where I am
Started seeing someone for anxiety about three months ago, mostly because my doctor suggested it and I had run out of reasons to say no. The first four sessions I spent a lot of time explaining my life, which felt like homework I had not studied for. By session six something shifted, not dramatically, more like a small recalibration. I started noticing the anxious spiral earlier, which does not stop it but gives me a few extra seconds. My brain fog is not related, as far as I can tell, but I am less convinced every foggy moment is a catastrophe now. I still have the anxiety. I am just slightly less surprised by it, which turns out to matter more than I expected.

A very ordinary update
Small update from my notes. cycle tracking has been in the mix for a few weeks and the clearest change is not dramatic. It is more that I can name what happened first. libido still shows up, especially on busy days, but the shape of it is less mysterious now. I am keeping this plain because that is what I needed to read from other women.

Just popping back to say thank you, especially peri_erica. I read all of these with a cup of tea and had a little cry, in a good way. This community is such a relief sometimes.
