I permanently deactivated/deleted my Facebook account years ago for several reasons. I think I shot myself in the foot because I would be less isolated now, but I just don't think I could deal with it.

I think that getting off of FB for now is a good idea for more than one reason… it could complicate your relationship with your work buddy if what he posts is so upsetting. It would make things hard for me dealing with him outside the cyber world. Deactivating is less damaging than unfriending.

I'm sorry that FB and worries about making it into work triggered you and your anxiety got out of control

I hope that you were able to calm down after the extra Klonopin and were able to get some sleep last night
