There is something in...No, it's definitely not you. There is something in the air lately, and everybody I know (either here or in RL) is suffering under some sort of blue funk (my term for shit scraping depressions). <BR/><BR/>I hope things get better, especially for Mr. Kitty. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, situational anxiety.. I got that one too. I really wanted to tell my therapist thanks for nothing. Who doesn't get stressed out under certian situations?? <BR/><BR/>Great post though, even through it all you made me smile.Chanda (aka Bea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12321020069183192224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-17754634287438785032008-09-09T09:13:00.000-04:002008-09-09T09:13:00.000-04:00Oh, honey, it's not just you! (Though I LOVELOVEL...Oh, honey, it's not just you! (Though I LOVELOVELOVE Leslie's answer above!) <BR/><BR/>You could be reading my mind...we are so similar in so many ways. (I was laughing a little at the 'hiding bills' thing, not because it's funny, but because I've so Been There.) I call that Deer In The Headlights Syndrome, because when I have too many things to think about, I seem to react by not thinking at all. I just...freeze. Like, you know, a deer in the headlights.<BR/><BR/>For me, I tend to differentiate between situational anxiety - which at least has a cause - and purely chemical anxiety, which is just random chemical bullshit. The chemical stuff you can medicate away, and I did for a long time, but the situational stuff...that needs some kind of retraining as to coping with it. I'll let you know if I get that one figured out. :-)<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile...your wedding dress does not fit, and that is such a cool thing! I wish that it could cancel out all the frustrating, stressful crap (and money, the necessary spending of it and the lack of enough of it, is about the most stressful thing in the world). But still, I'm very happy for you. :-)<BR/><BR/>V.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-81836836257661469552008-09-08T16:55:00.000-04:002008-09-08T16:55:00.000-04:00you should think of it as a compliment:"Is it hot ...you should think of it as a compliment:<BR/>"Is it hot in here or is it just me?"<BR/>:It's just you."<BR/>Meaning...YOU ARE HOT! <BR/><BR/>All about reframing :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-85485975978605248762008-09-08T14:03:00.000-04:002008-09-08T14:03:00.000-04:00OMG...you had me laughing at the first part. Why ...OMG...you had me laughing at the first part. Why do people look around the room when you ask if its hot?!!?

It's hot today. I ...It most certainly is NOT you. It's hot today. I dropped Penny off at school this morning, and walking back to my car I thought, "GEEZ, it's hot already!" The thermometer in the car told me the awful truth: 72. Which is usually well within my comfort zone, but today, for some reason, I was feeling sticky and sweaty. And not in a good way.Liz Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787713419728198832noreply@blogger.com
