elizabethOkay, so. Better.
Not good, but, you know, better. It helped a lot, the comments and emails and phone calls, so thank you (it makes me feel kind of bad to say that, that people worrying about me is comforting, but whatever, we've established that I'm not exactly stable in the mental parts these days).
Am trying a few new strategies for coping -- a much more detailed and precise to-do list, reoganizing my schedule so I have lots more mini-breaks (apparently running on full for eight hours a day isn't the best idea I've ever come up with), getting the hell off-campus more often so I keep some sense of perspective, you know. Therapy tomorrow is not going to be fun, but it's supposed to be fairly chilly so I'm planning on bringing tea or hot cocoa and using that as a do-not-panic focus; luckily I don't have work tomorrow so I can burn off some nervous energy afterwards walking home -- I've missed doing that.
One thing I'm still worried about is the effect of the time-change on Sunday; I'm not a winter person, and the lack of sunlight is not something I'm looking forward to. I'm not really sure what I can do about it, though, which is, of course, scaring the willies out of me -- because I've done such a good job with the parts of my life under my control recently, I'll totally handle something out of my control well, yeah, right.
