I need to calm down
Aug. 24th, 2009 06:09 pmI was on the verge of (if not actually) weeping all day, at the office. In fact, during my 1:1 with my manager, I told him I might need to change my vacation plans, and then broke into sobs. Big noisy gasping sobs. Poor man.
Anyway... I left the office a little early, came home and found nothing changed. Lena got up when she heard me come in. She's looks painfully thin, but she's eating, at least a little. She's unsteady in the extreme, but she can still get around.
A little while ago, she started crying, but when I spoke to her, she came and lay down near where I'm working and now seems peaceful.
The bottom line is, I have no way to know when the next crisis is going to come. It could be tonight, it could be tomorrow, or it could be weeks from now. And I can't stay in this state of near-hysteria for weeks, I really can't.
So I somehow need to calm down and be functional. I am just not sure how to get there from here.
