anxiety attack
Dec. 23rd, 2014 11:54 amHad a couple of panic attacks yesterday and a HUGE anxiety attack this morning.
All based on problems with my graphic novel. I finally printed three copies of it on A3 paper with B4 crop marks. But finding someone to trim, bind and cover it has been a BIG issue because all of the local companies that would have been perfect for it, shut on the 19th and don't open again until after the new year. I'm supposed to have my research paper and graphic novels in at the Office of Graduate Studies by the 5th of January. I'm still writing the research paper!
And yesterday a company that told me over the phone that they could do it, couldn't when I saw them face-to-face. I'd carted the copies around town on a bus just to see them. It seemed such a huge waste of time. Had a panic attack outside and then went back in to buy a guillotine with the half baked idea that i could trim and bind them myself. Luckily I met a technical officer I knew who talked me out of it, suggesting that mostly the research paper needed to be in on time, but that maybe the on-campus printers might be able to do the binding on the day. This morning I had a huge anxiety attack that lasted for several hours. Then I read an email back from my supervisor saying that the research paper needed to be in by the 6th, but that the graphic novels could be later.
Rght now I feel gutted. I was going to go to a BBQ today but it was raining earlier and I was in no condition to go outside my front door. Am staying home and watching TV and films. Need to do "not much at all" today.
