Panic

I have been on the edge of a panic attack for a couple of days now. Intead of letting myself go and having the full-on attack, I have been gripping the ledge tightly, just holding on.

Newphew worry.

The visceral memories that worry brings up.

Job stress.

Kids pushing (and holding) buttons.

House disarray.

Lack of fresh air.

Never being good enough at anything.

Other than your first two, I've been there myself on and off, again and back again. Sympathy, empathy, all that. Keep holding on!

Thanks, Jen. I'm doing a bit better. Turns out I was in the midst of an interesting hormonal fluctuation in addition to the (usual) stressful stuff.

Good news is that my nephew is doing really well. He's home and getting stronger. Looks like (knock wood) his only long-term issue may be some hearing loss in his right ear. Lucky kid.

Thanks again...
