when you wonder if @FridayJones will be starting a ptsd boot camp soon. :lol:
When you consider making a list of distorted cognitions and dropping a huge dictionary on it, but are stopped by considering if you will startle from the noise, and if lifting the book will hurt like hell because...
wow @FridayJones you are brutal to seperation anxiety. I bet it runs the other way most times lol.
