I Want to Write a Venting Post

[caitri]

But 1) I don't have the energy, and 2) don't feel like wasting energy on people that don't deserve it. Suffice to say that I am Incredibly Annoyed at People Who Are Wrong on the Internet.

In other news, Scott's off to Spain (didn't he pick a great time to go, just when Catalonia is voting for independence and their are violent crackdowns and whatnot?) and I'm off to a conference the day after tomorrow. I think my nerves are getting worse; I started feeling anxious about my trip yesterday. My flights will be in the 3-3 1/2 hour range and I feel sick, and I'm thinking about submitting to a conference in England next year which would be a good 10 hours or whatever. (I have no idea how I survived my trip to Japan a decade ago. Oh wait, I was young and not an anxious stressball. What was that like again?)

I continue to be behind on All the Things. I'll find a way to finish them, but everything seems hard. Oy.

I hope you find a good distractions from all the SOTI. (Shitheads On The Internet.)

I don't know if you've ever tried/had recommended to you to try melatonin 3 days before travelling, then during travel at bedtime to prime your body to deal with the stress and sleep disruption of travel? My shrink suggested I try it when I told him I'd had bad anxiety and mixed mania travelling long distances by plane, and it has 1) made my sleep much better and 2) leveled my mood back to manageable proportions. The entire use period isn't supposed to go more than two weeks, but it has done the trick on two subsequent trips.

Wishing you undisturbed travels, Scott a safe journey there & back again, and less hard tasks immediately in front of you.

No one has ever mentioned it to me...after this trip I don't have to travel again until next March, but I might ask my doctor about it beforehand then. Thanks for the tip; it's muchly appreciated!!!

Also thanks for the good wishes. <3 I'm doing laundry and whatnot before packing, but then I'm going to spend the day in comfort fic, methinks. :)
