I'm sorry, ND.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm really sorry ND.
Well when I went out today I took my debit card and I haven't been able to find it. To be responsible I called and put a block on the card and somehow that has blocked my access to my account and I can't get any access back without talking to a customer service agent and they aren't available until Monday.
Oh ND, I am so sorry.
Emily, anxiety seems like the normal response to our current situation, even if the actual changes to your life are not big. It's a scary time!
I don't know how to lessen the anxiety, except, you know, breathe. And if screaming or crying or whatever seems like it might be something you want to do, that is okay.
I mean, I'm literally staying in bed and hiding under my comforter today. It's allowed.
Oh ND. So tough.
Emily I hear ya—anxiety isn't my usual thing either but definitely feeling it lately!!
I think someone said this before, but I think it might be a little better for actually anxious people in these situations. Like- I always feel like this, but this is at least real and I feel validated. Plus a lot of my coping mechanisms are actually assets.
Yeah, maybe the fact that I didn't have anxiety before is my problem! Fortunately I did have depression, so I don't feel particularly hopeless or numb about this. Not more than I did already, anyway. We're like unhealthy reaction preppers!
That hasn't really been true for me Sophia, maybe because my coping mechanisms involve having quiet time at home while ltc is at school or out to get myself a little treat, neither of which are happening right now except for the quiet time on the weekend. Although, I do feel validated about how freaked out I have been about the current President, that validation is also not making me any calmer.
Oh Drew, I know how hard this is for you. I'm so sorry.
Emily, I never am anxious, but the situation calls for it now. The head of government is dangerously incompetent and I have no option but anxiety.
Negative wishes for JZ.
