That's insightful about the guilt leading to catastrophic thinking. I do feel guilty when I see others suffering. I feel like I should be able to stop it when realistically there is nothing I can do.

That's good about staying on the meds. I am taking mine and went back into talk therapy. I am also watching videos about a man who volunteers to sit with shelter dogs, who are so frozen with fear, they just huddle as far against the back wall of their kennel as they can. He says it hurts their chances for adoption, so he does his best to bring them out of the fear stage.

People like him remind me that there is still good people in this world.
