Default Bad Day Vent

Ever have an emotional hangover from the day before. That's me today.

I started yesterday in a complete panic attack. I had to go get my Mom and run an errand with her and I was short circuiting every where. I was shaking like a leaf, couldn't think straight, my heart was racing, couldn't breath, and I had to get it together and leave the house. I had a million things on my mind but none were focused and each thought felt like a physical blow. The IBS kicked in.

What did I do - plow through - grabbed my stuff and left the house totally disoriented, freaking out, and trying to breathe. I must of looked like a hyperventilating maniac on the road. It took me three hours to come off the ceiling. Then I had to stay focused to get a grip so the day wouldn't repeat itself by getting the list written and doing the deeds. Whew- what a day.

On top of it, I went to my psychiatrist for the monthly check in - he is new to me - what a screwed up session that was. He was saying things to me that were so far off the mark, he was clueless. I've decided he is really odd. I haven't decided if he listens to me or not, time will tell.

By the time I got home last night - I just needed to float - Today may be a rerun atleast for the morning - you got it, Mom again. This afternoon will be recovery!

Hi Cindy, sorry to hear you had a bad day yesterday and I hope you have a better one today.

Please try to think positive about today. Going into a day with a bad predisposition and thoughts of negativity will usually end up being a self fulfilled prophecy.

I know you just wanted to vent, but I hope I was able to bring you back to the present moment so that you can put a different perspective on today.

It's a new day! :-)

Tammy

Cindy.
Like Nirvana said today is a new day. Hopefully, it will go well for you. I have found out also making a list of your to do things help. If it all doesn't get done, I look at it at least some things were accomplished.

Well, I made it. Still on shaky ground but better :). Thanks for your input.

I'm just full of anxiety these past three weeks and it has slowly continued to build. I think it's medical issues I am trying to deal with under it all. Who knows, it doesn't take much to put me out of sink. This whole year since last June has been walking on glass.

Anyway, I blasted through my day and at 3:00 pm had a 1 hour massage, uhm.

Now it's time to dig in and get some things done so I can feel better about my apartment. Just trying to chill out and not focus on anything.
