It&#8217;s amazing how sleep improves the mood. I have an errand to run this morning that I really do not want to do but have no choice. It seems that I&#8217;ve been unable to reach the staff at my psychiatrist&#8217;s office. I leave messages and I never get any return phone calls. Thus, it has come to the point where I will need to go to the office to actually make an appointment. Is staffing really that bad!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I will also try to make more headway on my financial literacy class. I was working on it yesterday at the library, when out of the blue, I had a panic attack. I started the unit called &#8220;Money Personality,&#8221; and as I was reading, the panic attack came on very strong. I know I worry about money constantly so this might have triggered it? I don&#8217;t really know but it was very unpleasant; felt like a heart attack except I knew it wasn&#8217;t. Thankfully, I have a good friend who I could text and it calmed me down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a fresh mind and perspective, I will now sit down to work more on this section of the Khan Academy class. I think this time around it should be mentally easier (or at least so I am hoping.) I wish money matters weren&#8217;t so stressful. Yet I know that the cause of the stress is my not understanding of personal finance which is the purpose of the class I am taking in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, I am going to brave the cold today and make the trek to my doctor&#8217;s office so that I can get this very important made. I&#8217;ll also have to get my INR levels checked because I take Warfarin to prevent blood clots. Once that gets done, I&#8217;ll go to the library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am so grateful to the better night&#8217;s sleep that I had last night!
