Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end

Ok, I’m moved to this new site now. It’s not ‘done’, but it’s far enough along that I shall delay no further.

I’m having a tough time at work this week. Not as tough as many others; I’m not slated to lose my job. I feel bad for those who are staring down the barrel of unemployment, particularly my friends. But that’s not what’s getting to me. At least I think it not what’s getting to me….

No, I’m experiencing what I think are panic or anxiety attacks. It’s all the fracking commotion around me and the fact that there are numerous times throughout the week that I can hear (and not shut out) no fewer than 4 or 5 gorram conversations happening at once. And Lordy! the way people yell and shout at each other. It’s maddening! (Did I spell that right??)
I’m think I’m going to see about getting a prescription for some anxiety medication. But I won’t be doing that soon. Got lots of other stuff to spend money on over the next few months.

    Sean,

    I’m sorry you are having such a hard time with the commotion at work. I know that all the noise around you drives you nucking futs. Try to relax a little. As someone who has suffered from severe anxiety problems for most of her adult life, don’t get on medication unless it is your last resort. Try different things – meditation, listen to a book while you’re working, when you feel anxiety coming on take a step outside and do some stretches, cut back on caffeine. Another thing that I found which helps with anxiety is eating a regular intervals throughout the day so your blood sugar stays at regular levels. And by all means, if something is really bothering you, talk about it with someone. Keeping emotions inside can drive a person crazy! I have more tips if you want them.
