today was actually a little bit rough on me. i got really flustered doing grocery shopping, of all things. i just wasn't in a state of mind to be surrounded by people - people that were moving through the aisles slowly, people that were taking their time in the line, etc. that's the social anxiety part of social anxiety disorder.

i don't tend to get scared, i tend to get angry. i'm more likely to start yelling at strangers than i am to go cower in the corner.

and, resolving it is just as simple as getting home and centering.

when i'm stuck in it, though, you want to stay out of my way.

the second ear doctor (the initial appointment...) echoed what the other one said, but upheld my logic, independently: i need to see a dentist about tmj.
