hehe What a great graphic, Rapunzel! Cheered me right up.

I didn't think I could possibly feel any worse than I did yesterday, but I do. I hope it doesn't just keep getting worse, but it's looking that way. I am supposed to go out of town tomorrow night through Monday morning to a very emotionally draining event, and I just don't know if I have it in me. Everybody keeps telling me to go, that it will be a diversion, but I just don't want to end up in a psych ward 5 states from home, you know? Oh well -- I see my pdoc the day I get back.

My sister called last night. She has worked with mentally ill people for 25 years. I told her about my panic attacks every time I come to work (I've mentioned this on other threads, but I got ambushed by my boss and stabbed in the back by 2 others, on a Wednesday no less, so Wednesdays especially freak me out now). She told me to get over it. I couldn't believe it. I mean, it's the most useless, not-understanding thing you can tell mentally ill people. This is the same sister who told me to stay out of the hospital because it looked bad. I'm starting to pity the people she's supposed to be helping!

Oh well. It WILL get better --- right?????
