Cash, great pictures! You look awesome, as does your sister (and cutiehead nephew).
Jilli, seconding and thirding the Xanax/Ativan thing. Sometimes cutting through the coping techniques to just Make My Brain Stop is the only thing that works quickly enough to be useful. Calm ~ma to you, love.
the panic dance
How much do I love this? Bwah!
Just knowing it is there for tomorrow night seems to break the loop 85% of the time.
Yep, same thing with panic attacks & anti-anxiety meds.
meara, sorry about scary email. S'ok?
Is only personal scary email, is not like, "I CAN HAS JOB PLZ?" or anything.
Sure, sometimes in deadlines I had to eat at my desk or whatever--but when it's more than "this is due today", I figured better to take an actual break, try to calm myself, even if it meant I had to work a little later in the evening. Even if you can't go shopping or whatever, just a few minutes outdoors, if the weather's nice, in the grass? Or with your head in a book/iPod/whatever
I CAN HAS JOB PLZ?
I think that should be your cover letter.
To Whom It May Concern:
I IS GOOD WORKERZ. I HAS EXPERIENNZ. I CAN HAS JOB PLZ?
Jilli, your question about panic reminded me -- did you know that Lush has discontinued products available to order (they won't be delivered until September, b/c they're making the quantities according to the numbers ordered) -- and ISTR that you love the Flying Saucers bath foam. Which is one of the discontinued products.
But, um, TODAY is the last day you can order: [link]
