breathing in, breathing out, breathing in, breathing out. having a hard time shaking the vegas thing from my mind.
1) Keep breathing slowly and deeply; don't know if you're prone to anxiety attacks, but if you are doing this will help.
2) Stop at each step of this whole Vegas trip and OJECTIVELY assess the following:
What are the true facts here?
What gaps am I filling in?
What assumptions am I making when I fill in those gaps?
Is there a possibility that the assumptions are wrong?
Is there a possibility that my perceptions of the facts are wrong?
Remember the whiskey bottle/stuff? What happened there?
3) If this is failing, force yourself to do something active that will be a distraction (a good workout usually helps, but anything to take your mind off of things)

If you'd be interested, I'll send you an email at the address you've got listed in your profile?

That might actually put a mental image in your head about how much of this is guesswork (the literal interpretation of the sentence above this) and how much is real...
Take care,
