I was just going through a lot of anxiety earlier. I'm calmer now that I've gotten on the computer. I think it's the familiarity that helped. We haven't had TV for several days (DirecTV is really dropping down in popularity with me), and I haven't had that to focus on when I'm experiencing anxiety, which sometimes helps. I don't handle change well at all.

Plus, I've been trying to resist some of my OCD compulsions, and that's not a very calming thing to do (in the short term). I was getting panicky over things that usually don't bother me, but with everything happening at once--no TV, fighting OCD and being alone, not even able to reach my mom on the phone--I really thought I was going to have a panic attack.
