I thought I was getting better...

But these past few weeks, I've been feeling on the edge.

Nearly 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with GAD along with being bipolar. I took medication for several years, and started getting/feeling better even without it.

However, I've noticed that I'm starting to feel uneasy and restless again. Like something bad will happen anytime. I'm suddenly self-aware of my body, magnifying every ache thinking what it could be. Worse, my fear of death returned, making everyday feel debilitating.

I don't want to go back to taking medicine. I can only hope I can use this self-awareness towards recognizing that fears are irrational.
