Or is it just that the obvious solution is not sometimes obvious to me?

On Sat, I was developing an anxiety attack at night, and also getting very tired. I know that in such situation I need to go to sleep early and wake up well. But I could not go to sleep because I was waiting for a lady to bring cat food for my new foster kitty who does not eat the same food my two cats eat, even though it is the best food on the market. I do not have a car, and food from Amazon takes time to arrive. It did not occur to me to cancel her and ask to come on Sunday. So I took Klonopin. Having taken Klonopin, I could not take Temazepam, my sleep aid - that would have been a dangerous combo. On Klonopin, I slept for three hours only. I spent all Sunday with a headache and virtually unable to sleep. I did not go to work on Monday still with a headache. I did not go to work on Tuesday because I was finally sleeping. Now I am fine and will go to work tomorrow. I have lost several hundred dollars this way (no paid sick time) and several days of my life.

My ex said that I have no priorities, that the kitty would not have died. well, the kitty is at risk of death from a fat liver disease, which is life-threatening, and which occurs when fat cats stop eating. But still, moving the cat food delivery onto Sunday would not have made such a difference. I could have called and said I had a migraine.

So what is it - not having priorities or missing an obvious solution that was right in front of me? I wonder if anxiety played a role; I wonder if you do not see obvious solutions when anxious.
