Oh msbelle, I'm so sorry. A bath might help.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

msbelle, I'm so sorry. If you need, call me. I'm particularly useless (I think I told the last friend in the midst to think of pink hippos but that was 17 years ago and I was in shock myself) but I can talk of cute nephews and mindless crap. Like cats. Also? You'll be fine. I know you will. Wish I could hug you and you know what THAT means.

What about hot decaf tea/hot cocoa/warm milk or something like that? Maybe with a bitty bit of alcohol. (My issue with alcohol is that it always wakes me up a few hours later, unless it's just a little bit).
Would it help to do a crossword puzzle or a Sudoku or something to occupy/focus your mind on something?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I tried to google, but it....made me anxious. Sorry. I think other people have had good advice.

No need to worry about hijacking, msbelle. Truly. Panic attacks are awful. I'm glad the breathing is helping.

Honey. When you need, it isn't hijack, sweetie.

Oh, I count my breathing, that sometimes helps.

Yeah, what they said (about the use of thread, though the counting sounds right, too...)

Aw, belle, I'm sorry about the anxiety-- don't have any advice unfortunately, but I hope that some of the suggestions are helping.
