For today, I'm trying really hard not to doom-scroll.
For tomorrow, I plan to stay off the internet except for work, and to track my kid as he flies back from the West Coast (where he and the boyfriend have been attending a wedding). I will read and I will grade papers and I will breathe very, very deeply. I may take a Xanax I have squirreled away for an emergency. There is also chocolate.
See you on the other side.
I'm traveling all day for work and then going to bed very early because I have to be physically present at the client site at 7:45 AM Wednesday. Medication will definitely be involved. I've been having small panic attacks for a month.
ReplyDeleteSame on the panic attacks. I keep asking myself, "Why do I feel so bad?" and then saying, "Oh, yeah."
