This time of year is so bad for all of us. When you are under the Christmas stress of buying presents and going to parties, it is hard enough. Then you have to hear about all of the stuff going around. It really puts it front and center. It's hard to relax and just BE. I have an anxiety book that says when you feel a panic attack coming, you should try and float through it. Recognize it, but just ride it like a wave til it passes. Try to just ride the wave. Remember, this too shall pass. I am riding the winter wave all the way to spring. I HATE WINTER!
