I really should sleep. I need some sleep, and I can sleep as late as I want tomorrow. My brain has decided that worrying is a better idea than sleep, though.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I hate it when brains pull that shit.

I'm approaching 48 hours of not having a voice. I'm tempted to just call in mute tomorrow, although I've been trying to soldier on as best as I can.

I can't even.

How does one call in mute? Type-to-talk? Laryngitis dilemmas ...

I got another interview, at a place where I think I'd really enjoy working. Keeping my fingers crossed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That sounds good, Hil. Interview~ma for you!

My doctor suggested yesterday that there might be some depressive symptoms feeding into the anxiety (I got slightly indignant and said "You treated me for depression in the past -- these symptoms are NOT like that!", and he agreed, but pointed out that was HUGE life-sucking depression, but what he's seeing now is just some mild symptoms).

And despite my knee-jerk disagreement yesterday, I thought about it, and he's probably right. I can recognize a huge problem when it happens, because it derails my life, but these milder symptoms -- well, it's easy to just say "Not enough sleep," or "Too much work!" Both of which are true from time to time, but not always. The low-level symptoms have been consistent, but I just thought they were something else.

So, I'm glad I went to the doctor yesterday, and I hope the Lexapro helps (without side effects, which is a big concern for me). I have a LOT to do in the next 2 weeks, and I can't even imagine how I'm going to do it.

I'm getting pretty certain that I don't want to work at the place where I'm interviewing today. I tried googling a bit to find out more about it, and the word "cult" is coming up pretty often. Along with the sort of overly glowing comments that, if this were Yelp, would make me assume they were written by the owner.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Get better soon, Debet.

Good luck with that interview, Hil.

Steph, I hope the Lexapro does good things and not bad for you.

I'm glad you went to the doctor, Teppy. IME, not enough sleep is actually a sign of depression which then makes the depression and anxiety worse.
