I feel sick

What are you anxious about?

Been thinking about the case and what will happen after...

I’m probably pretty dumb—but which “case”?

Not here, can't talk about it here.

Tormented.

Jittery and very uneasy.

I wish it wasn’t this way for you.

I wish there was a resolution.

Time does heal most wounds. You’re a young guy. It ain’t over, that’s for sure.

I had to learn not to fall hard for any one person.

Where does one find reruns of those shows? I haven’t seen those shows in ages!

I know Pluto and METV does broadcast Ed Sullivan and Carol Burnett, but I have yet to see any network rebroadcast either American Bandstand, Shindig, or even HeeHaw.

In my case, being a type 2 diabetic, I get that way when my blood sugars take a nosedive (and the beeping my phone makes when my CGM detects my sugars are below 90 mm/dl). Real fun when it occurs at 2 AM.

You can find some full episodes, and many partial episodes, of both Shindig and American Bandstand on YouTube.

Anxiety about the unknown. I'm expecting something in a matter of weeks, but I don't know what will happen.

I keep thinking about what is going to happen

That's the definition of anxiety. ^

Depression is about the past.
Anxiety is about the future.
Panic is about the present.

I've got another 2 months of unknown. I feel like the closer it is the worse it will get.

Another person's mind is a scary mystery.

If another's person's mind scares you, that's problematic.

I was thinking they should redo A Christmas Carol.

It should be:

The depressed ghost
The panicked ghost
The anxious ghost

but then again, that's how it's already portrayed.

so, it sounds like you've got a waiting period for something that is out of your control, and there is nothing you can do about the outcome. as tom petty sang, "the waiting is the hardest part". i can imagine the torment your mind and body is experiencing and i'm sorry you have to go through it. i was thinking though, what you can control, however, is time segments until that point. one of my kids said that one way they practice being present is by imagining one of those old timey director's clapboards to make himself be present in a moment, with the words HERE instead of cut. can you construct a mind trick like that for yourself? also, you can control the time segments while you wait with things that you can look forward to. can you: schedule out messages to send to yourself for the next 8 weeks? order small cheap things to be sent to you along the way as time markers? plan each week with a "reward" for yourself so you can make it to each weekend to earn that "reward"? i imagine that it may be even more wearying to manage those items, too, and then to also anticipate those things with the same intensity as the BIG thing you are waiting for. regardless, i am glad you are able to post here, and know that we understand...
