Whoo, so I can still do that, eh?

About an hour ago, I had my first flashback for ages, triggered by, ahahahahaha, a description of a flashback. That took me by surprise. Luckily I had an IM client and people willing to talk to me until I was sane again, and then once I could stand up I also had tea and cake (cake! with chocolate on!) and it didn't last very long itself and the subsequent panic-attack comedown was manageable (I have good panic management tools, thanks to my very very practical therapist).

But well, it's interesting that I can still do that, given that I can see the obstetrician twice and not even throw up. I can even remember what he looks like now, which I never could before. Somehow I doubt that he remembers me.

I'll be going to bed when I finish my tea. Sleep well, all y'all.

Shit. I'm sorry, Ailbhe.

Well, at least now I know it *can* happen, so I'll be in a better position to take appropriate precautions re: hospital when it comes to crunch time. Perhaps my subconscious thought I was getting complacent (but, you know, in a way it's a compliment to the standard of your writing. And what I'm most afraid of is fear, which is nice and trite).

Hello.

It seems very strange to be friending someone from my alternate LJ identity, but this is what I've just done. So I thought I'd leave a note here to mark the occaision. You remind me a lot of one of my favourite friends. I think you're also a little like me: building self-confidence through helping other people. If you want to know who I am, just ask.

I'm glad your panic management tools were able to kick in and friends on IM to talk to.

Yay for cake with chocolate on.
