Had a panic attack for the first time in close to 6 months and I’m back to regular 3am anxiety witching hour wake-ups.

My nerves are just shot beyond what Wellbutrin, BuSpar, and therapy can help.

It’s 3am, I haven’t slept despite trying every method under the sun, and all I want is to pluck this blob of anxiety-ridden electrified meat out of my skull and punt it into the lake behind the house.
