Perfect definitions Blessings! I think there is a difference between a pity party and a panic relapse. I've got the waxing and waning panic relapses going on right now. I was feeling better last night after this wonderful group of people offered support...but I'm struggling again.

Keri, I'm sorry you had to cancel your clients. It makes me mad too when I have to cancel stuff now because I feel crappy. I was never one to cancel and was always on the go-go-go cycle. I guess the key is to cut ourselves some slack. We are doing the absolute best we can. Heck, we are both still working at least part of the time -- we haven't completely given up. And I think you are a conscientious person just like I am. You care about your clients and I care about my students so that has to count for something, right? For the record, I only like chocolate ice cream. Brownies are wonderful, especially for breakfast. I'm really a donut junkie though.

Finally, don't you all just love that definition of the pity party from the urban dictionary?! It's a way of experiencing grief through whining at how crappy everything is. It's not to be broken up until "usually a cynical loved one" makes you crawl out of bed to see how pathetic you are and just tells you to cut out the whining." If you guys want to have a pity party in your pajamas some night just let me know. And I promise I won't ever break it up!!
