... With reason.
My housing is up for "yearly recert" today, even though I've not been here but six months. This makes me paranoid and anxious. It doesn't make sense I'd have to go through the process again after six months but I gotta follow the rules or go sleep on the street, even when they aren't following the rules. I don't want to leave this building because I like it here. I feel like it's "MY HOME" and not "our home" or "their home." It's in ninety minutes and I know it should go ok but I'm freaking out anyway. I did get a good sleep in last night, wrapped tightly in my covers, but woke up 2.5 hours before the meeting so I had plenty of time to have a giant anxiety attack. I turned on Ren and Stimpy so I would hopefully distract myself but it's not working well. I'm trying deep breathing and I know yoga is later on.
The looming and growing depression cycle isn't helping me here either.
I'm so worried I'm shaking. I want to go ride my bike but I know better than do that in this condition.

Breathe. Take deep and relaxing breaths. Listen to something calming. Keep yourself wrapped tight for security. It's going to be okay. This feeling will pass.

As long as I can keep my mouth shut and not be so nervous I say the wrong things I'll be ok. Right now I feel like I'm not even on Earth. Everything seems so strange and different and I don't understand anything but know I know what it is. Maybe I don't need a place to live? Maybe homeless is a good idea? Maybe I could do some harmless crimes and just live in jail or prison forever? If I can just get through this morning I'll be ok, I know.

Sounds like you are dissociating based on my experience. Just hold tight. You are a tough cookie.

It was a big nothing. I gave him the papers and he had me sign another. I sign the lease again Friday after they run the numbers and probably raise my rent a little.
I'm gonna go workout
Thanks for this!

Don't you love how our mind can conjure up some horrifying experience that's bound to happen!? I get this all the time. Glad you got through it all okay. Enjoy your workout
