Of panic attacks, and self care



I had a panic attack today, for the first time in a month. I didn't get much sleep, and yelling/fighting around me is a big trigger, especially when I am too tired to put up mental defenses. I had planned a nap, and then goal-directed activities for after work, but I was too frazzled to do any of that. I ended up playing a game, as and listening to podcasts, and I now my brain is deciding that I'm a lazy piece of shit. Fuck you, brain. Here is a reminder of what I accomplished today, before I left work:

-I spent 5ish hours doing prep work to make pendants/magnets like this:
I cut out and glued about 100 pictures to the flat marbles. They are ready to be made into awesome things for my next craft show. 

Speaking of craft things, I also made about 50 wish bracelets. 
These may look simple, but they are surprisingly time consuming. 

I optained 2 new qualifications on UHRS Clickworker. I'll be able to do these pretty fast, and make a decent wage if I do them for an hour straight. I made about $35 in a little under 4 hours, which rounds out to minimum wage. Not too shabby for an Internet job. It's mostly search engine evaluation. The goal is to pay off my $1300 PayPal credit account by the end of July with that. On my way, but I need to step it up. 

So no, brain. I was not a slug today. I accomplished things. Self care is necessary some times.
