yes, more insanity

You'd think by now the world of Rachel would be back to normal, but surprisingly it isn't.

First of all, according to some opinions, but by no means all, I can't knit during the 9 days. I'm trying to find a way around it. If I'm knitting something that I won't wear during the period and I won't give to any Jew to wear then, there'd be no shehekiyanu, so it may be ok. I can't give up knitting for that long. It relaxes me. I need to relax.

Here's why.

Today, once again, I was panicky. It started early on in Talmud class, and lasted most of the day, though I'm much better now. I told Tovah Leah about it a little (since she's the teacher I'm closest to) but we didn't really have time to talk. She said I could either call her this afternoon or talk to her tomorrow. I'm running out of ideas on what to do. Today it interfered a bit with my classes, and for a few minutes I was on the verge of tears (I have no clue why, though I hope it's just PMS). Not cool. I thought I had given up crying in school after I left for Israel senior year. Normally if something is that much a problem I resolve it before class, or just skip it. And it's not like there's anything actually causing this that I can avoid/confront. Argh.

Maybe I need a way to let out steam. That was one thing karate was good for. I could yell a lot and hit things. Now I have nothing to channel energy into, save knitting, which I can't do this week in theory...It might calm me down, though.

I picked a wonderful time to have issues.

On the plus side, something else kind of got resolved today, though I still feel like I'm walking on egg-shells.
