My anxiety has been spiking so much recently. I’m stressed over work even when there’s nothing to worry about; my mind constantly churns over the what-ifs, and deadlines for projects that haven’t even kicked off yet. I‘m tired all the time; I can’t relax but also can’t focus. I used to have major struggles with anxiety in the past but it improved. I’m sad to see it’s coming back again.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications.
