The 5 stages of freaking out

Every once in a while when I get some sort of news from somewhere which is enough to freak me out I go through the same stages of emotions. Especially when I need to fix something pertaining to that news and it’s 2 am and everything is closed.

(Happens quite a bit)

The stages are as follows:

  1. Immense burst of restlessness. Hysterical behavior accompanied by panting up and down my room (at least no one gets to witness that)
  2. Trying to come with a solution. Constant Google search (if applicable) or phone calls (umm texts may be)
  3. Trying to calm down and watching something (romantic comedies work like a wonder) after the search has either failed or can not provide immediate solutions (2 am god damn it) accompanies with some sort of rationality
  4. Ruling out sleep as an option and deciding to make it through the night without sleeping with the mind on a constant thinking parade (yet much calmer then 4 points ago)
  5. Seeing the sun come up and suddenly things seeming so much better after 4 hours

And usually after all that I do manage to come up with a fix. It’s the same every time. I know every time I’ll eventually figure it out, even if it’s an urgent situation but I manage to be patient while freaking out.

Amazing!!!!! Aint it?

Oh well. I wonder whether it’s just me or humans (may be women) just like going through too many emotions within few hours.

Sigh
