Anxiety Attacks.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I've been peppered by anxiety attacks this week (unusual for me) because I've given my roommate notice and will be moving into my own place this November. Without going into detail, we're friends, but we have to part ways as roommates.

Anyhoo, I've managed to overlap the time I must move with the time I'll be away back east on vacation. The timing stinks all around. On top of all of this, I need to save quite a lot of money over the next couple of months in order to cover first mont's rent, deposit, etc., and still have a little spending case for my trip.

I'm not asking for solutions to the problem, so much as I'm wondering what y'all do to calm yourself down if ever you've suffered from similar attacks of anxiety. Tea? Naps? Cry? Exercise? Therapy? I know it's temporary, but I'm certain I'll experience this on and off until I'm settled into my own place. I need to figure out a way to keep the anxiety at bay. I'm sure that a game plan will help, but I can't really sit down to work out the logistics until the weekend.

In the meantime, I feel it bubbling up again. Friggin' A, I don't know how people who get anxiety attacks all the time can function at all. It's completely freaking me out.
