I think I'm calling my doctor and asking for meds again.

Good idea, kiddo. Good idea.

I'm not sure one can find ways to self-soothe in the middle of chaos/crisis when loved ones are going down in flames.

There is a metaphor I use often, not sure of it's origin.

A woman is in a room that is on fire. She is absolutely "back up against the wall" terrified to run through the flames to safety.

Does a friend who truly understands the fear of rushing through the blazing fire, rush in to stay with her and soothe her, only for them both to perish in the fire?

Or does she drag her friend, kicking and screaming through the heat to safety?

Do you see a seperate T on your own?
