yuuagoI thought that I was doing well anxiety-wise, but then I spent all of today with the anxiety monster gnawing on my head because I was too terrified to check my private messages to read the reply my friend had written in response to me giving some input on how I'd like our travel plans to go.
ON THE UPSIDE... I did, eventually, check my PMs. At 11 PM at night. After being a bundle of nerves all day. It's annoying that it took me all day to do it, but it's definitely Progress, especially in comparison to the times when I wouldn't be able to check my email for an entire week. (Or month. Or-)
I guess I just need to remind myself that getting a hold on this thing takes time. It isn't going to happen in the span of months, or even a year. It's an ongoing thing that I need to work on. The important thing is: I was having problems today, but I dealt with them.
Anyway! Today I finished a fic that's been sitting in my WIP folder since... 2010 or so. I think. I threw it up on Roesslyng even though, to be honest, it really isn't a very good story. But it's one of my longer fics (over 10k) and it's finished, so... y'know. I'm just glad to be done with it.
Tomorrow I'm going to try tackling something else that's been sitting in my WIP folder for a while, though I'm not sure what. There's a few things I could work on. Or... maybe I'll just try throwing together a stress-buster ficlet. That might be nice too. Something calming, and maybe there isn't much happening, but with nice atmosphere... I don't know.
Work is still really, really busy. I've done overtime for the past two weeks, and I'm usually the kind who rarely ever does overtime. And I'll probably be working overtime this week as well. I don't really want to, but it looks like I'm going to have to.
