Interesting observations from a day of suddenly returned anxiety:

Badger’s meows and whines trigger a noticeably stronger stress response in me; I think he notices I’m responding at some level and keeps at it longer

I realize I’m actually carrying a lot of tension in my torso. I had been taking Pepcid for acid reflux but found I needed it less recently; think some of it might just be how much pressure I’m keeping the digestive system under, I’ve had sharper stomach pain today too
