i felt that panic again this morning. that "I'm going to work again" panic where my weekend was so good i forgot who i was, that i'm not really allowed to feel so free and comfortable. Putting my uniform on, i still felt felt half alive, and the two worlds clashed, military and civilian. i forgot to breathe, couldn't quite see out of my eyes, and my stomach cramped. I'm disappointed actually. Although I'm not sure what over. I used to have this problem quite often, once, maybe several times a month back in Sacramento. I'm not sure if I learned to breathe, or if I found a way to reduce my panic. I haven't had many of those mornings at this base. Maybe I just haven't felt very free on the weekends until this past one. Or maybe it was that my friend A. is here in town. Waking up with someone has always been difficult, knowing I have to put that mask on while he is still present. yeah, i'm getting nervous just thinking about it. I thought maybe I had learned how to conquer this paranoia, thought I had grown out of it or stronger than it. No, I will have to wait until I am gone, until I separate from the military. I can't be stronger than this, can't let go of my paranoia because I still have reason to fear.
