Thanksgiving was peaceful, which is really saying something for me. There was very little overt sadness on my part. But I did feel the need for a Klonopin before we went out.

Today, I've got palpitations... a sure sign of covert unrest within me. As I mentioned before, I didn't hear from any of my kids (nothing new) and I didn't hear from my so-called best friend. In fact, I haven't heard from her in about a month. We usually go out once a week. I feel angry and hurt.

How do I stop these physical symptoms? I'm not sure that I ever mastered that... except to take more meds. Don't know that I can or want to release the emotions. It might make things worse all around.
