Thanks, everyone. I just needed to touch base, somewhere.

Christine, no, I don't have a therapist; never found one I liked and, until thus bout of rapid cycling, I've done fairly well without one. Doc may have a different opinion when he sees me Wednesday.

I'm better today; gonna load up on Xanax and go to work. I need to remember that there are two people at work who seriously push my buttons - one intentionally, the other unintentionally - and they can be serious problems for me in my current state. A lot of my energy needs to be available to just wall them off.

I curled up yesterday and took a nap with my cat - she's not a snuggler but she seemed to know I needed some help. I was out of ice cream anyway.

And yes, I could write (journal) instead of eat. Should.

Thanks again for the posts - you all are terrific.
