in which I have no bloody clue what I am doing all of a sudden

[chanaleh]

ahhh, god, aaaaahgahhhd.
And I was so happy all day today, too.
Now I'm at a loss all over again.

No, nothing really bad has happened. It's just that I'm left sitting here clutching my arms around myself [yes, this does make typing a bit difficult, thanks] due to the feeling that if I let go my insides may all come spilling out. Which is simply the way this set of emotions expresses itself physically with me. When what I want is to cling to someone else, but that's just not going to work, I have to cling to myself in order to hold on.

At least I got tonight's projects done first.

Maybe it's just the contrast with last night that is especially getting to me.


... Maybe all I really need is some sleep, since I got less than four hours last night, and things will look more manageable in the morning. They generally do.

It's the sleep.
Or, at least, I do the same exact thing on under five hours.
Hope things look better in the morning!

Thanks. I'm not sure the actual things look any better; but I am less distraught, if not any less dismayed.

We'll see.

Thanks, except that this was actually on the former topic, not the latter. :-} The work isn't helping, but it will all be over soon at least.

::hugs:: and hopes that there's more of whatever made the previous day so good.

Is there anything I can do?

*Snugs* If you find that big red 'Do Over' button, do let me know. I've been wanting to mash it for some time now. ;)

*nod* I know that feeling (I have stuffed iguanas that I hug in such cases, though). Hang in there, and know that many of us are thinking of you with affection.

Sleep is good, but it appears you've already figured that out by now. :)

It would be nice if LJ listed a time zone with its timestamps...

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Since the poster can specify/alter the time on posts, I guess you just have to know what timezone each person is in! I have no idea what timezone is being reflected in the comment timestamps, though, 'cause it definitely isn't mine :-}

[76trombones.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, since the timestamp doesn't necessarily match LJ's time, it would be kinda hard for LJ to...

but that's only for posts, right. For comments, it could certainly know (given that it made the timestamp and all), so it could tell us.

comment timestamps

[firstfrost.livejournal.com]

There's actually a livejournal FAQ about this!
The comment timestamps come from the time zone that the server your journal is hosted on uses.

This seems excessively unhelpful; why bother having time stamps if they bear no relation to either the journal owner or the comment poster?

But it's free, so I can't complain too much.

(And, um, I hope whatever it is gets better, but am lost as to anything more helpful to say).

Sleep when tired.
Eat when hungry.
Drink when thirsty.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Sorry you're feeling stressed, hope that a little time and sleep will make things feel better...

Hey, hang in there...
