There aren't any specific events currently happening to cause anxiety, it's more of an inability to turn off my brain.  If there are issues in my life, I definitely overthink them and that causes a downward spiral into depression.
Totally a personal problem, but it just brought focus back to me feeling overwhelmed due to the nature of the task (talking about it).
Seeker gave very good scenarios.
Great website, great task
