Oh dear. I always think use it or lose it, even in regards to work. However, I don't really know how single people live in a place like you describe. It sounds like where I live. Rents are ridiculously high, even for a ridiculously ravaged state such as CA. And everyone here has to drive except for a fortunate few.
So you have very practical stressors on top of your health issues.
I read recently that alcohol actually exacerbates anxiety. This doesn't seem like it would make any news, except it was new scientific evidence that explained why--you know, the same sort that explains why benzos should be a last ditch resort. I thought I'd extend a friendly caution. Last week or so, in despair, I had some wine. I haven't drank in years because of meds and also because I just don't tolerate it. Well, I still can't.
I'm going to go back and read your rTMS updates. You sound better in this post, despair aside, so I want to see what didn't work and why ect is back on the table.
