Let me preface by saying I KNOW this isn’t healthy. I’m a psych grad student so I absolutely understand that.

Something really traumatic happened Wednesday and I’ve been a wreck since. I was given Xanax to help sleep but I work six days a week and can’t take time off. I can’t afford (literally) to have a breakdown. There’s nothing I can do in this situation and I have to wait for everything to play out on its own. While that happens I need to block it out and I just don’t know *how.* My therapist is out of office and I tried virtual therapy and it was unsuccessful. Someone tell me there’s a way to pretend none of this is happening, because the Xanax makes me not anxious but it doesn’t stop the thoughts.
