Hey all, I have two medical appointments coming up - I stupidly (accidentally) booked them both for the same day. This means that, since they are within blocks of each other (but not really accessible by walking - meaning I have to pay twice for parking in the city - lovely!) I will be hanging...

Just sitting here tonight & all of a sudden I got jittery & anxious and fidgety for no apparent reason. Normally I can point to something that sets me off or is making me feel off - but tonight I couldn't - it's like I just got ramped up for no reason at all. Does this happen to any of you? I...
