You know what's the worst kind of anxiety? It's when you know there're something very important to be done and you don't know what to do. The feeling of helplessness can be sickening. It's worst when it concerns life and death.... I guess I was just feeling too much. Decided to stop watching and reading the news for a while.
Thanks to the precious phone call that saved me from sinking deeper, I'm glad I managed to talk things through with friends. The comfort that their presence and encouragement bring is..... invaluable. I'll do what I can, with what I have, and I leave the rest to the Big Guy up there.

Either that or it was just an odd case of food poisoning. *shrug*
