Steph, did you eat the banana? Also have a glass of water.
I haven't eaten yet, but when I get this author email donw, I will. But, I don't know, my stomach really hurts, so I don't know if I shoudl eat right now.
Do you have anything that's a benzo, like Xanax or lorazepam? Because taking a 1/2 or a whole one right now sounds like a dandy idea.
I'm afriad it would knock me out, and I just have so much to do that I can't take a nap right now.
Tep, please eat the banana ASAP. Your stomach probably hurts because it is empty and you are stressed. Eating the banana will help with the first, and if you can take 2-5 minutes to just focus on eating, that will help with the latter.
Okay, Steph, EAT! Not eating is not helping calm the panic attack. Take three minutes away from work, screens, etc. and eat and breathe!
What everyone else said about setting boundaries.
And - as someone whose anxiety was spiraling out of control less 3 weeks ago, I sympathize so much.
Steph, I get it, so much, but three minutes away from the work will not make it all late. Go eat and focus on something else for a bit. Really.
Hi juliana! I feel like we haven't seen you here in a while!
Sophia that sounds awkward. What are the return policies at each place?
Yeah, his user name was actually ILoveToFU.
OMG that is awful.
Meara, I can actually return them, so we are only out shipping. I am just annoyed that I paniced about getting them on time, and I YELLED at the wrong customer service people. I am so embarrassed-- I will be on one of those "not always right" websites.
Also, it is totally because I didn't eat, and am not thinking straight! So I, too encourage Steph to eat.
Also, when I have been overwhelmed like that, I always get nothing accomplished when I try to push through panic and upset. It is better to write off that day and look at it fresh tomorrow-- at least with theatre.
You'd take a break to pee, Teppy, you can take that long to nibble a couple of bites of banana.
Ugh. I ate the banana...and threw it up. This is ridiculous. My stomach does feel all stabby, though
Teppy, I am worried about you. Can you ask Tim to come home and check on you or sit with you for a bit? Or if he can't do it, is there someone else who could?
