I’m also an Old who has toggled between anxiety and depression all my life. Thank you for putting into words one of the things I’ve sensed as I’ve aged. One of my own blessings, though, and one I wish for anyone in this same boat, is the edges around both have softened. I’m a lot less disabled by these phenomena and…

I have the best parties of anyone I know, because I’m the only guest. It’s always a blast.

Mouth open. No sound. That is...omg.

Pic, please!

Thank you.

I HATE THIS FACE.
