Excitement and stress are really close in the brain. Can you think of a way of rechanneling that stress into a more positive emotion? Can you make a game plan with anyone at work? I know some people do a purposeful stutter to “get it out of the way”. I obviously don’t know you, so I can’t be more helpful. What I’m trying to get at is , is there a coping mechanism you haven’t tried? I know it’s so hard not to let things bother us. I’m not a PWS so I know it’s not the same and I don’t get it, but I only have my experience to relate it to. So feel free to discard anything I say that doesn’t resonate. Just like I know people don’t understand single parenthood. When things bother me they get me to the core. I just have to let the emotions flow through. It sucks. I shake, I can’t sleep and the fear is overwhelming. I just have had so much experience that my rational brain knows my panic response will pass. But while I’m in the middle of it it is all consuming. So I understand the gulf between the helpful advice and my ability to access it when my body has been taken over by fear. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
