Anxiety Attack
Our Internet connection died again this week, which is why I was away for a couple of days. Being a geek, I tend to live online a lot of the time, so the loss of the connection hits me quite hard. Thankfully, the local library has PCs available and I maintain a subscription there for extended periods, but I didn’t have time to get there before the connection came back!
Yesterday was a bit of an odd day here. As you know, most of the posts here revolve around my partner’s problem with alcohol at the moment. However, she also suffers from anxiety disorder - in her case it manifests mostly as social phobia and panic attacks. It’s a condition that can be treated and, here in the UK, help is fairly easy to obtain. Due to our ongoing sleep deprivation courtesy of the cat, she was in a bit of a state. Not getting much shut-eye does strange things to the brain.
