Hello?

Is anyone around for a chat? I'm really needing someone to talk to right now.

I is around more or less... in between bursts of housework...

I'm here, despite the fluctuating internet

I'm confused by the time on this and how it relates to my time zone.

I'm here now.

Well, can't really chat since I have class for the next 3 hours...but I can send you internet hugz. So here.

*Giant virtual Hug*

Did it help? Or do I need to squeeze harder?

MASSIVE HUGS

and trying to think of things no one's suggested yet.

Call someone IRL on the phone. Probably just tell them to listen for a while, and talk about what you're feeling, as coherently or incoherently as you can.

If you don't have anyone who can help like that right now, do the same thing in writing, here or in email or whatever.

Can you take a walk or get some other kind of excercise and change of scene? That always helps me immensely, especially when there's no time limit so I can just wander til the stress goes down slowly. It's a way to dissipate at least some of the energy, so even if the mind is still going in circles, they're not quite as fast.

Draw/paint/sculpt/build with blocks? (I use my kids blocks for this, don't know if Pea has any.) Create something specific or challenge yourself to build the tallest possible tower/cover 8 whole pages with red crayon/etc. Or destroy towers/rip up paper for anger therapy.

I'm here but will be in transit for just a bit, but then I'll be home. I'll post again when I get there. Could Skype-chat if you like, or just e-mail.

Got no solutions but plenty of sympathy, love, good wishes and a desire to listen with ears and heart.

Lots and lot of major hugs!!!!!

I'm back at home. Will send you an e-mail, or try Skyping.
