Steph, please please freak out all you want. Or need.
You're not fine. But that's okay. It is okay to be not fine.
She ain't movin'. Serenity's not movin'.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.
Steph, I hope you are saying that over and over as a mantra. When I'm trying to keep it together and not sure if I can, I tend to go with "I feel good, I feel fine, I feel wonderful" while conjuring up as much of "What About Bob?" as I can to work the incompatible emotions angle.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Steph, thank you for sharing your freakout with us, because I hope that means that you know you're not alone in this.
Also, you are always welcome to come out here and eat as much sushi as you can.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Tep, have you tried the anti-anxiety breathing techniques for freakout interruption? And even quaking and hyperventilating, *sitting* in the shower is a safe option. (I don't suggest standing, but sitting is A+, would use that method again.)

Because books.
have you tried the anti-anxiety breathing techniques for freakout interruption?
Want to share? I could have used some the other day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
but sitting is A+, would use that method again.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Steph, keeping it bottled in isn't a good option. And this is about as safe a place to freak out as there is.
And you don't have time NOT to deal with your feelings, one way or another.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, it seems to me talking to Tim would be a good thing? He's your support system, right there, and he loves you, and he already knows you're prone to anxiety attacks. And he loves you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't want to be a disappointment to him. I don't want to talk to him about how I'm a huge failure because it's just going to emphasize that he deserves so much better than me.

If you think he's going to be disappointed in you, after having known you for so long, then apparently you're very good at hiding things from him, because I think he knows most everything about you by now and loves you a whole lot.
