    It’s actually a new day, but it’s in the middle of the night, so it doesn’t feel as if it has begun. I fell asleep nicely, but woke up again. Quite often, just as I’m about to fall asleep, I get little anxiety attacks. I say ‘little’, because they’re brief and not serious at all — just a reminder of what they can really be like. Tonight, I couldn’t fall back asleep. Instead my mind kept spinning … about stupid things, like if I will have to file tax returns in two countries when I get a pension. First of all, that won’t happen until four years from now, so it’s kind of early to start worrying about it now. There’s no stop button for the mind though, so I got up instead, and went online. Scrolled mindlessly in Facebook for a while, read likewise mindless posts. I really need to get away from there — won’t have to delete it, I guess … just stay away because it’s mind numbing.
