Have to drive through a bit, scary city I've never driven in before and then stay in a hospital for a week. I've been dreading this for a year.

And the office is so terrible we thought it was today so now I get to go through the panic again at the beginning of next week.

  • I've had some really expensive therapy about this but unless I'm giving it 100% of my focus, which is irritating in of itself as I'm already overwhelmed by all the other things I need to focus on, I can't feel it.

    Shitty answer: Benedryl. The next morning doesn't go well.

    Real answer: What you don't do is lay in bed and try to sleep, your mind will just keep going. Do something low impact. Read a magazine or book, nothing that evokes a fear, anger, or excited response. I read social media feeds I have constructed to weed out the ragebait and doomer crap. Mostly tech stuff. I use a red light filter so the screen doesn't keep me going.

    I'm only on my phone at work or in lobbies. Once I'm home I toss it in bed and don't touch it again until bedtime. I have too much better stuff to do on my PC (games, art, writing, movies) to be fiddling with my phone.
