Okay, I'm gonna be brave. REALLY brave. I NEED to leave the house. I have no food. I have a shopping list that hasn't been taken care of in a week.
I must leave the house.
I am no longer in immediate danger of panic attack. I had to take pharmacological steps, however. I am not proud of myself today. I am really frustrated with me. f*ck it.
how does Li treat her acute anxiety? Well, first she took a bath with magnesium salts (epsom). helped about 10%. Then she took 5 mg of propanolol. Haven't taken this since my last stint as violinist extraordinaire. I feel like such a loser. An hour later, still terrified. now I've taken half of my klonopin tablet. feeling a little better. I'm just going to get ready and walk out the door in 6 minutes. If I have a panic attack, I can always come back in and put me back under house arrest.

lesson learned? I dunno. tomorrow. no more caffeine. I'm going off. cold turkey. that's right. I can't do this sh*t ever again. I ruined my sunday (probably on purpose, too...). Another triumph of hedonism over reason.
