Possible trigger:

There is a wild fire currently burning/being fought in the national forest here, that started earlier today about 8 miles from where we are staying. We can see and smell the smoke from our room. I am thinking we are going to be evacuated, as it's moving fast it seems to me, they are saying it has now burned over 400 acres in like 4-5 hours and we could actually see flames and smoke coming down the mountain moving closer to town as we were driving back to our room today from some sight seeing. After scoffing at me for being concerned and packing up most our stuff in case we get evacuated, H has now gone to sleep, I'm sitting here feeling broken because I am worried and anticipating evacuation. But we are safe for now and I am thankful. It is scary though. I can smell the smoke inside the hotel.

Seems smart to at least get packed in case you do get evacuated. Not silly to worry a little. My anxious brain would have had me leave before we were evacuated but it sounds like you are being rational! Hope all is ok and the fire stays far away!

I let supposed to be soon ex-husband talk me in to another round of marriage counseling. Not sure how I am feeling about it. The one positive thing is that it will be the first time we will do any kind of couples counseling that didn’t have a religious bent to it.. so maybe that will help? We’ll see this week.

Hey artie - i googled wildfires, and it looks like there are 3 or 4 going on right now. They dont say anything about evacuating people, but nor do they say anything about campers. Are you guys in a resort or what?

I feel vaguely sick (tired, stressed, can't concentrate, blurred vision, nightmares).
It could just be side effects of my diet. Couldn't it? I am not feeling hungry.

If you've cut something out of your diet it could absolutely be your body adapting to that.

I was on backup call and didn't have to work for two weeks because nobody called in sick. I have to go back to work tomorrow (I have clinic--my own primary care patients) and I'm weirdly nervous about it. It's also making me think of how I have another 11 months of residency left and that's just so overwhelming I almost can't stand it.

I didn't used to be nervous about work. I hate this.

when will all this stuff about exT stop it seems to ease off then comes back to kick me in the butt again.. I am in the process of forming some imagery about him to put in a project. I would really like an appointment card to symbolise my sessions but lately he is always at his rooms I just want to nip into the waiting room and grab one.

I am trying to order something online and the website doesn't say it doesn't do overseas shipping but when I go to checkout the quoted shipping cost is $1300 I have tried a few times and I still get that quote I have decided I don't need the thing that badly

It's grief. It's over when it's over and not before.

The nightmares concern me most.

they have evacuated the areas closest to it and have a shelter set up for the people affected at a local grade school, and an emergency team is coming in tomorrow from what we have been told. it's still a mile north of town. no not at a resort, just a regular old hotel east of downtown. it must seem closer than it is because we see so much smoke and can smell it, i don't know. Anxiety has been getting the better of me for too much of this trip. I just want to go home.

Last 2 days I have been craving cigarettes it's been about 3 years since I gave up. Actually it's been longer a couple of months at least

I saw a county website that you can sign up for evacuation texts, if youre near the flagstaff one. Pm if you need help finding this stuff.

Already found it, thanks una.
