Well my anxiety/panic attacks are DEFINITELY related to my student. He’s been absent for three days, and today I feel much better. He comes back Monday, but he’s been put on meds. I doubt they’ll take effect for a few weeks but hopefully he will be able to control his outbursts when they do, at least to a manageable degree.

I haven’t eaten all that much this week due to anxiety. Today I feel actually physically ill. I don’t know why. I forgot to pack a breakfast this morning so I didn’t eat anything till 12:15, and since I didn’t feel like getting out of my car I got a quarter pounder at McDonald’s. Boy, was my stomach turning! Good lord, I felt so sick. I didn’t get sick so I stayed the rest of the day. It calmed down in about an hour but even driving home I still felt off. I’m hungry now but nothing seems appetizing so I will probably just eat some yogurt that I have later. Maybe I’ll be able to choke down a little of the pasta dish I got at the diner yesterday but I’m not sure, it’s high fat with meat, cheese, and a cream sauce. So maybe I’ll avoid it!
