Good luck with those exams, Joule.

The project I am working is progressing. It could be the best and most important work I have contributed to. When this is done I will feel good about it, and know I made a major contribution to it. That's my goal - to finish it and finish it well. It will be published in the botanical literature and I will be a co-author. I have been working at this for over a year now, determined to make it happen.

Yup. And I see life the same way (without the crazy scientist) nobody asks you 'who do you pick to have in your life?' but the choice is there to be a friend to yourself or be an enemy to yourself. Most people keep their worst enemy with them 24/7. It doesn't help them. If they were their own best friend, a constant supply of support and comfort and strength....endless possibilities :)

I didn't think of it that way! You are very right about being a best friend of one's own.:)
All the best for the exams. It will help if you get some sleep to rest your overactive mind.:thumbup:

Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man.

It's official - I've lost my friend. Oh, not in the usual way. We still "talk", and are "friends" on Facebook. But I can't even be in the same room as her without almost having a panic attack. I have no ****ing idea in all of the millions of galaxies how this came about, because I was fine with her before and we hung out and things were great. And then the weirdness started, the ******* WEIRDNESS. My bizarre inexplicable feelings of insecurity, and now when I talk to her my face turns red and you should see how uncomfortable she looks around me now. It's a damn shame. You've taken yet another thing away from me, anxiety; I hope you're happy.

And I have so much homework for finals, so so so so much work. One of my finals is a group presentation, and the people I'm working with are fine but I just don't want to get up in front of the class on literally what is going to be my last day of the semester and at that college ever again.

The anxiety won't end with the end of the semester though, oh no. I still have to get a summer job. And then it's back to school. So the hell will never, ever end. This is the rest of my life.

Worked today on a client's computer at his home. Malwarebytes detected 700 infected objects. 700! A new record!

The place is chaos. Constant chaos with the kids and people yelling. It is the complete opposite of my silent life of invisibility. I have to play music loudly just to get some juice flowing. At that house the juice is always flowing.

I always feel off kilter after being there. I feel off kilter right now.

I don't see how you work in those conditions. I'd be like "y'all shut the **** up! Can't concentrate in here!!!"

Oh there are times they are all right there with me standing around being loud. All the noise does slow me down but I get paid by the hour so...

But afterward I feel very very tense.

So hard for me to believe that people live like that everyday. But I am sure that most would consider them to be more normal than I am.

You're more patient than i am. That's all i can say. Talk about a volatile work environment.

This is why the majority of my clients are businesses. Much less stressful. They just let you work and they stay out of your way.
I only do house calls for this guy because I've done business with him for years.

Not exactly in the flesh but you can p.m. me any time. I might not be awake depending on what time it is but I'm always up for talking :)

Sometimes it may make no sense on the surface, but perhaps you are sensing something deeper that is making you uncomfortable with her. I know anxiety sucks, but perhaps we need to trust our instincts. Maybe if we did and took it for what it was without fighting it our confidence would grow in ourselves and we would just be considered snobs instead of anxious, lol! :bigsmile:
