Freaking out over a "small" thing like a parking space isn't all that unusual when you're feeling like that, so I hope you cut yourself slack on that, yeah? Sounds like you didn't, but I hope you followed your self-lecture with one remembering to be gentle with yourself...
Good for you that you've given him info on BP. I should really do that myself in a more specific way... (note to self, eh?)
Hope your more or less back on track becomes more and more on track!
