(HUGS) Wow I can totally relate to your posts. I am sorry you had a bad day! Graduate school is really difficult and add work, family, friends and things from our past and present and its a recipe for panic. Be kind to yourself and try and take 15 minutes just (not) selfishly for you. You are in my thoughts.

Leila and Lacy -

Thanks for the support. I went to the psychiatrist and got my meds tweaked. I anticipate things will be much better with the meds. Of course this is a temporary solution while I work in therapy on the bigger issues. My new therapist seems amazing and I cant wait to get started with him on Monday.

My meeting should go fine tomorrow. I am confident that my rough day was only that and not necessarily a pattern. I do have issues with anxiety and panic but they haven't interferred that badly until yesterday. I am much more optimistic at this point.

Kristen:
That’s horrible. I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through. Just remember that you’re not alone, there’s a lot of people who feel the exact same way. You’re way braver than I am, I can’t even speak in a class as a student, let alone think of teaching one! That takes a lot of courage.

Don’t beat yourself up, or obsess on the possible outcomes of your meeting with the professor, it’s not worth it. Hang in there! This too shall pass...
