Non-Bookish News:
You guys, the weather in Ohio is ridiculous! It’s been in the 90’s all week. And next week-more of the same. I’m over it and ready for some cooler weather. At this point, just the low 80’s would be welcome.
This week, in addition to the stupid heat, I was busy. We had meet the teacher night Thursday, so I was at school from 7 am until 9 pm. Then Friday we had professional development at a school an hour away. While at the inservice I had a pretty severe panic attack. I tried to use some coping skills to get myself under control (because seriously-who wants to deal with a panic attack in the middle of a professional development with all your coworkers present), but it wasn’t working. It was really rough. I can honestly say it was one of the worst ones I’ve had. Thankfully I had my medication with me, but that made me really tired. I went to bed at 5 on Friday night and woke up at 5 Saturday morning (because I had to go to work an administer the ACT). So, it’s been a stressful week. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor this week which is good.
So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!
Oh man, anxiety attacks are the worst :/ I hope things go better this week!
Thanks!
Sorry about the panic attack, those are really no fun and the worst when you are out.
The weather here has been all over, I can’t wait for the fall.
Have a great week, Samantha! Happy Reading!
I can’t wait for winter!! Bring on the snow!
So sorry about your panic attack, it’s really hard when it happens in public, even worse when it’s in work environment. I can’t wait for Autumn! Hope you have a great week.
I hope your doctor can help.
Have a great reading week, and stay cool!
Thank you!
Sorry to hear about your panic attack, it’s not fun especially when it’s at work. At least you had your medication with you, even if it did make you really tired.
Hope the doctor helps and have a good week.
Yeah, having a panic attack is crappy enough, but with witnesses…I think that was making it worse.
Sorry to hear about the panic attack. They are the worst! ((HUGS)) I hope the fall weather comes your way. It’s up and down here. 60s one day, 80s the next. I just wear layers.
Thanks for the hugs!
Oh no! I hope the heat lets up soon. It has been pretty miserable where I’m at too. :/ Hopefully next week is less stressful for you!
If this week could be less stressful and less hot, I would be truly the happiest person around!
My daughter struggles with anxiety attacks also. She puts the dog on her chest and that seems to work. But our dog is about 15 pounds and is happy to give her kisses. Yay for a long night’s sleep. Sometimes you just need it. I try to just go all the time and sometimes it means I drop like that. I hope this week is smoother and you enjoy some great reads!
Actually, we had the school therapy dog with us. She is too big to sit on me, but she is a good distraction.
I am sorry to hear about yoçur panic attack samantha! Do you think the meds for your other issues could cause it? Like a side effect? Anyway lat’s hope it was a one time occurence! Sending love to you!
My psychologist checked and said no. Also, the panic attacks have been around for about 20 years now.
Hope you enjoy your book haul. WOW you have had a busy week. You survived and hopeful this week will be less busy and less hot.
Have a great week and happy reading!
Thanks!
Yeah the heat is crazy, our fall in Utah doesn’t normally start until October. Although we are slowly starting to get cooler nights so I am grateful for that at least. I didn’t realize you were in Ohio? Or maybe I forgot?? I might be coming this late October so we should meet up if you are interested?
Hope you have a lovely week darling!!
Oh I would love to meet up!! What part of Ohio? Im in Cincinnati!
I’m sorry to hear about your panic attack, it’s a stressful thing to go through especially at work or in any public setting! I hope the doctor will help! We’re supposed to cool down to the 80s this week and I’m so thrilled. Hope it cools down in your neck of the woods, too.
When does fall arrive, indeed! We’ve also been having temps in the 90’s (but then again, I am in FL) and I am so over it! Sorry to hear about the panic attack. I sure hope this week is better.
My weather is the same here. HOT! I don’t want winter but I hope to get some cooler temps for fall. I’ve had some pretty bad panic attacks before. Glad you got through yours and I hope you have a calmer week ahead.
That graphic cracked me up lol. So true!!
Sorry to hear about the panic attack though! I’m not sure there’s much worse than having that happen when you;re away from home and around co- workers or in a work thing. That must have sucked! Glad you got through it though. And I hear you on the weather. Although it’s been cooler here in Michigan lately- we’ve had some sunny days but it was low 70’s. Hopefully you’ll get some of that soon. 🙂
