Good day/Bad day

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Good day - I was hypnotised last night to help me lose weight. Today I have been very careful with what I eat. I do not put this down to hypnotism though, but it makes me feel better anyway.

Bad day - My car overheated on the way to work. I think the head gasket has gone for the 2nd time in 3 months.

Bad day - I called a meeting with one of my minions to address some conduct issues. This woman has had problems with management, mostly historical before I even got the job, she has decided to raise a grievance against me and dispute all of my documented concerns from the meeting.

Good Day: Since I'm finally done with exams for this term I could finally relax for a day with a clear conscience.

Bad Day: Since I'm finally done with exams for this term I was a lazy arse all day and didn't get anything useful done.

good day: I woke at nine and made a big ol' breakfast consisting of pancakes, home-done orange juice, toast, and pineapple slices for the apartment. Then I spent the rest of the morning puttering around the house, doing laundry, singing and putting a bunch of music on my mp3 thingy. And my landlords said I could get a bunny without having to pay the pet deposit.

[somewhat] bad: I just watched a taxidermy program on TV that's put me off of my tea.

Good day: There was sod-all to do at work and I got to sing along to 3 Richard Cheese albums at the top of my voice.

Bad day: The new guvnor is instituting new, pointless rules that are making life more difficult for us and are giving the company no appreciable gain. Plus they are being a **** about giving me Valentine's Day off, forcing me to play the 'going over the guvnor's head to the guvnor's guvnor' card.

Bad day: found out that somewhere along the way I've developed an anxiety disorder related to school and triggered by being inside a classroom.

bad day: Found this out in the classroom. When I quietly became unable to breathe normally, began shaking incontrollably and nearly had my heart jump out of my chest. I was so shaky I reached for my coffee and instead of picking it up, I ended up knocking the cup to the floor. I didn't last fifteen minutes in the classroom before I had to leave. That, now... that was freaky as hell. Not to mention frustrating.

good day: according to the school counsellor I saw, it's treatable.

bad day: School counsellor recommends I withdraw from school, go into counselling/consider correspondence instead. I do not want to withdraw, I do not want to do correspondence, but see no other choice. I want that class. I want to go to school.

You've no idea how ******* pissed off/disappointed I am at/with myself right now.

:( take care sadie. *hug* But if you tell them you really really want to go to school, maybe they can still help you?

Good day: showed some initiative at work and did something very useful which I enjoyed doing too.

Good day: bought lots of nice coloured paint for the house. Going to start painting on Saturday, hopefully.

Bad day: am so very tired because of all this, I'd like some sleep and weekends in which I can do nothing. Been spending lots of time in DIY stores and in a not finished house instead of on the couch with tea and the Dragonlance chronicles.

Don't be Sades-no one asks for this (trust me, I know).

I'm no doctor, but in my experience running from the problem (in this case, dropping out of school) only makes the problem worse. I'm not saying pretend nothing is wrong and try to carry on as normal, but don't give in completely. It's horrible to go through this, but you can beat it.

Try:

here

-it's the General Anxieties Forum on the OCD board that I use-it may help.

I can't give you any answers, but I've a long and chequered history with my own anxiety problems so if you ever need a friendly ear, I'm more than willing to listen.

Take care. :)

Frankly, I'd rather sever the tendons in my legs that keep me upright with a blunted butter knife than walk into a classroom at the moment. Which bothers me, as I do want to stay in school and don't much like being this afraid of something so irrational... but no. Asides, she said that it was "probably too late in the year" to find a solution other than the ones she provided, which were drop out and seek counselling.

I do too. PTSD is in the same category, I think-though I never came out and said anything or talked to a psych about it [shaky self-diagnosis is speculative at best, I know-but it fits] I've suspected I've been dealing with it for awhile. And I have dealt with... probably not in the way I should have at first, but it's managable now. Though I'm pissed off about this school thing, I'm not really beating myself up over it like I was yesterday.

I fully intend to beat it. :) And I agree... though I don't see leaving school [this time anyway] as running away, I actually agree with the counsellor. Though it's hard to admit that I have a problem, I need professional help [heh], and though I don't want to quit, if I'm going to get this class with the marks I want I'll probably have to do it through correspondence. If I did it in the classroom dealing with this at the same time would just be a distraction I don't need.

I can't give you any answers, but I've a long and chequered history with my own anxiety problems so if you ever need a friendly ear, I'm more than willing to listen.
I've got a plan in place for dealing, and I'm not overly depressed [just pissed off that what I've planned is going to take a bit longer than I thought it would]... But thanks a lot, man. It's nice to know that there's someone "nearby" who knows what a pain in the ass it is to have a problem like this, and a place to check out if I have something related to that I need help with.
Take care. :)
you too. :)

And now...

Bad day: need to drop out today, and take all those lovely books I was looking forward to using back. Bah.

Good day: I get to keep the Post Sec monthly transit pass I bought, and my student ID means I'll probably be able to buy them at the discounted student price for at least the next five months. Whoohoo!

Sades I have lived with what you describe for about 10 years now, its somthing i havent shared on here before, ive only ever shared it with counserlers and psychatrists.
I could talk forever about the feelings and how I have begun to round the corner.

If you would like to talk I cant tell you how much I really know what your going through.

Take Care x you can win.

Well treatment by Internet is not advisable but you can think a few things for the moment (If you want, and can)

How long has this been happening?
What triggered those emotions?
What did you feel in the moment before everything exploded?
Was it something that you saw, felt, heared, a certain person?
What did you feel after?
What do you earn by having an episode like this?

But dont quit School, it would probably worsen the situation. And look for direct help. Anything else would only stop things for a moment but not solve it.

Take care

Too late. But am registering for correspondence, so it's not really quitting. And I'll be seeing a counsellor for it.
