Oh-Kay. So that is what we like to call the ‘calm before the storm’. I’m learning new things about this wonderful world of anxiety.
Lesson One: If Monday was a super fantastic day…that just means the rest of your world is going to come crashing in so hard it’s going to make your butt hole pucker. Mondays are not meant to be ‘good days’. Mondays are designed to SUCK and if you go against the rules that were set before us, you will perish.
Lesson Two: In the beginning of a full fledged panic attack DO NOT think that ‘finding’ something is going to make it better. It does not. Now is NOT the time to go looking for the lost MP3 player or battery charger. I know it seems like the most important thing in the whole world to do at that exact moment because refocusing the panic attack seems like the right thing to do. It’s not. It makes it worse. Even when you find the charger, your panic attack is still there.
Lesson Three: Never try to relive the day before. The day before is the day before. Don’t try pushing your damn luck and having TWO good days in a row.
Lesson Four: Do not try to post a post on your blog about a panic attack IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANIC ATTACK.
I need to figure out how to ‘un-pucker’.
SPF: “HOLY”
You figure out how you want to interpret that one. I might be going with “HOLY SHIT”.

I’d hug you but that might make it worse! Hang in there!
First again? Say it ain’t so!
You mean there are even rules for panic attacks? Lesson one seems a lot like the “waiting for the other shoe to drop” game that I play with myself. Lesson two sounds like my obsession with putting the toothbrush away in just the right way so I can have a good day. Is there extra room in that class of yours? ;-)
man i’m sorry you had a shitty ass day today.
maybe tomorrow will be a better day than today and almost as good as yesterday. [does that make sense?]
Yeah, two good days in a row don’t happen around here much either.
Now go unpucker.
Mondays suck. I hate them.
How does one un-pucker? For me it requires a Margarita or six. I’m just sayin’…
another Kami call might make you un pucker!
Hope you’re feeling better soon.

lol
sometimes you have to reverse the order though…. : }
Not to rain on your parade by changing the subject…howEVER…that little boy? Yah, the one over there >>> in the sidebar pics…DO NOT LET HER CUT HIS HAIR. iT IS LOOKING SO FREAKING CUTE.
omg i just want to squeeze him. look at the curls. god don’t cut it please?
Do I need to get drunk and call you? Gah.
Come on over for some Cosmo’s and xanax! I have a lot of both!
Hmmm…according to the rules, I am always in the midst of a panic attack. And you know – we had a GREAT Monday (we as in the kids and I) and of course I fell into the trap of “Excellent! It’s going to be a good week. I need a good week.” And then Tuesday arrived.
Ugh.
So maybe life is just one big panic attack and the people not having them are the ones who need help. :)
2 good days in a row…never happens for me either girl.
Calm before the storm…
Been there……
All I do is breathe and remember that even the bad parts will go away eventually.
Today hasn’t been my best day, either, and it followed on the heels of another crummy day. I’m waiting for a good one and am living in an emotional whirlwind in the meantime. I think it’s good you can talk about what you’re going through while it’s happening — I wish I could. I also wish I could drown my sorrows with some nice wine but I have a couple of med vials that tell me I can’t. So have one for me, if you’re so inclined! (((((Hugs))))) to you, at any rate, and may we both unpucker.
I’ve only had a handful of full fledged panic attacks, and they are so FAR from fun! I’m sorry hun :-(
