As soon as I get some free time (and it's not raining while I have that free time) I plan on a long bike-ride. And maybe tonight I'll go out w/ friends (I don't work tomorrow, so no worries about being up early).
My room-mates have been supportive, which is nice - and since they're friends, I don't have to go too far to not be alone. (Of course I plan to see other friends, too, but the desire to socialize is just coming back).
As for giving myself a break: You're right. It only has been 2 weeks, and I still am sorta dipping into "panic mode". I am trying to keep in mind it'll get better, too. heh. I just want to get through tonight and make it through "THE TALK". I think I'll be more at ease after that, one way or another.
Deep breathing seems to help, when I get to stressed.
