Charity drive

I'm feeling a little more stable now and have been able to be off the anti-anxiety meds for a few days. Whew! I am still very restless, but it is manageable as long as I keep my brain busy.
So, here's the scoop: I've decided to do a sort of one-woman charity drive/fund-raiser. Here's how it works.
I will knit and crochet as many baby hats as I can between now and August 10th for donation to Tucson Medical Center's maternity and NICU wards. My minimum goal is 35 hats, with a maximum of 50.
Here's how you can help: Sponsor my charity drive by pledging a quarter, a dime or whatever you like per hat that I complete to help me pay for my medical treatment. Easy Squeezy, huh? :-D you can even get your friends, neighbors and co-workers involved by printing out a pledge form that I can send you via email and have them mail or email it back to me. :)
I will be posting photos of the hats as I complete them and updating pledge amounts several times per week.
If you have any questions, or would like a pledge form and/or mailing address, feel free to contact me via email at amoneof8@yahoo.com

Thanks!!

Merde

I am in hell. For about the last 4 days I've been in a constant state of high anxiety. No particular thoughts or fears etc, just an intense physical sensation of panic. I shake, my heart does flip-flops and I want to run, but there is nothing to run from. I cannot remain still. Foot-tapping, rocking, or doing something repetitive with my hands takes a bit of the edge off, though my only real relief has come in the form of an anti-anxiety pill. I hate to take it because it slows me way down and makes me sleep...but without it, the desire to scream and bang my head against a wall to make the sensations go away is just too strong to cope with. I have never felt so not-sane in my entire life. :-(
