Can't tell you why, it just went away. Probably because I replaced it with systematic apathy.

Haven't gotten called for my vaccine, yet, but wandered over here and noticed your General Anxiety post. I've been diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety, taking antti-depressants for the former & a very low dose anti- anxiety drug for the latter, but never "General Anxiety". I am wondering how my situation might differ, and, if not, if the medical marijuana might help. Can you tell me more in terms of how your anxiety manifests itself, etc..I have ALWAYS been an "anxious" person, so I'm not sure why I never got the "General Anxiety" diagnosis. Thanks.
