Hey @TJ8
Welcome to the SANE forums! It's great to have you here and thanks for sharing a bit about what you're coping with.
It sounds like you are going through a tremendous amount and I can imagine it would feel very exhausting and isolating. I'm sure the forum members will be able to offer you support, information and connection here, but if you do need to reach out for some extra support during this time, please don't hesitate to do so.

Re: Rabbit hole...
It's hard normally to manage self care. Even more difficult in present environment. I'm have been trying in manage my anxiety also but can't do in usual ways.. many days I don't do so well. I have started painting rocks... sounds strange but finding it simple and distracting. I have no real artistic abilities either 😉
