and then the walls come crashing in…

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”.
