So apparently unexpected auditory input is not good for me. Never mind the Beatles-and-Johnny-Cash playlist that I use to drift off to sleep; that's comfort music.
At work today, I was testing a new program for my boss, and it was doing unexpected things, and making unexpected noises (and I couldn't find the volume off button) and it pretty much sent me into the beginnings of an anxiety attack. Which I haven't been able to shake off.
I have tea, I have familiar music, and I am going to do dishes and make stirfry, both of which are tasks I can definitely accomplish and be proud of. Other than that, I think I just have to wait this out. Anxiety isn't rational. I can't just take away the trigger and be okay.
