See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Not for another 3 hours my time (or, to get granular, 15 hours, as I was one of those weird rare midday babies), but thanks! I plan to spend it by either destroying or invoking the serial comma. I'm too tired right now to remember which side I'm on in that dispute.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday JZ!

By my time it's been your birthday for 15 hours. DOMA was overruled on your Australian birthday!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's good to have strong convictions. Whatever they might turn out to be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, JZ! Get granular on it.
askye, I sympathize so much. Panic attacks are rough. Just keep breathing (duh, like you were planning to try not doing that) and remember you're not alone and you're gonna be okay.

askye,
you need to elevate your feet. If you have any discoloration going up your leg (like up a vein), go to the ER. If you see a marked increase in size in a short period of time, go to ER.
Otherwise, it can wait until tomorrow.

I'm feeling better. I do have some redness on my shin but it's not going up a vein. I'm calling my doctor first thing in the morning (My GP) to get in with them.
I just wish that my shrink was around becuase I know him and he knows me and I wouldn't feel like I'm just talking to strangers.
I was told to drink lots of water and if the things you mentioned happened then go to the ER. Which makes me not want to go to sleep because how will I know if I'm asleep? But I'm trying to be rational.
I'v ebeen really emotional lately and this isn't helping.
I'm going to go lie down and try to rest.
Thanks for being here for me.

I've kicked my feet up against a wall while lying on my back. My feet and ankles got crazy swollen on Dad and I's last Daytona trip. That and sleeping with my lower legs and feet elevated on pillows really helped. I also put lotion on them thinking it would help with circulation but that might have just been self soothing.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
actually that makes some sense Cass, massage encourages circulation - and light massage is what you want when there might be some level of distress
