I stayed up late last night to study for a quiz today and well I think I learned my lesson... I know I did not pass that quiz so what was the point in me staying up late for it? So I am going to try and a different attitude now.
Right after class I went to the store and got tissues and candles. The tissues for my cold and the candles for my soul. I never was allowed to light candles in the dorms and well my mom does not like candles so I never had them at home either. Its not that I can smell them much now because of this cold but I just like having them lit. Its comforting.
I have to try and get more sleep but I know it probably wont happen this week. At least I have to try and stay calm. If I get myself stressed out more I will just put myself out of commission completely. I have had small panic attacks before but nothing that I cant get over in 20mins or so. I just don't want it to get worse. If it does I might have to force myself to see a doctor because I know thats what everyone here would tell me to do. Thanks for caring guys I am going to try harder myself first before I go to see a doctor thats all.

Candles are soothing, Step. Hope you find some comfort and relaxation as you watch the tiny flames.

Only you can judge for yourself when you have reached your limits. With your forsight and wisdom (yes, Stef - I think you have a lot of wisdom), you will know when you need to reach out for help.
Quiet time does wonders for the soul. Along with the tissues and candles, try a warm bubble bath and a cup of camomille tea.
Stay strong friend. You can do this.
Stef,
Walmart has a great generic version of Mucinex out. It is 8.00+some change and works great. Also rub some Vicks on your chest. and Please try to get some sleep.
I love candles too. I don't have a particular sent but I tend to go with the seasons. I love the apple and cinnamon ones right now as well as pumpkin. I love to just gaze into the flame and lose myself in it. Guess that's the firefighter in me.
I just remembered how when my daughter was a baby and she had little pink pajama's with the feet. I would put them on her if it was cold and she was sick. I would heat up a towel and rub her little chest with Vicks. I pinned the warm towel into her pajama's and then hold her in my arms while she slept. She was never a real touchy feely little kid so I always kne when she was sick and would allow me to just hold her close to me.
I hope you feel better soon. Many hugs to you!
