At DOL, Writing this to hopefully not melt down.

Been at the department if licensing for over an hour and a half so far. Was holding together ok until just now... Someone is invading my space and and I am having trouble dealing with it.

I can't leave.. I HAVE to renew my license.


Struggling to control my breathing.... Body feels like it is SCREAMING at me to leave, to run.... 14 more numbers to go.... DOL averaging 3 numbers every ten minutes....

Only shaking slightly, don't think anyone has noticed.


12 numbers... I can do this...

The hum of different conversations, different languages.... People spilling over their seats. ONTO ME!

Sorry friends. Just trying to focus on something besides my environment.

10 numbers left. 13 counters.... Isn't that an unlucky number?

Nearly there , stay strong

If it was 13 numbers and 10 counters, you would be even more unlucky.

Just stick it out. You have about a half-hour to go.

Thanks... This seriously sucks. Got called for the first time. Two more to go. Took different seat. Upfront... Feel more exposed but I can breathe the cooler air conditioned air up here.

Why is this so hard! I hate this place. I probably look like a nut, rocking, shaking, staring at the floor or my phone. Hunched over, dang near into a ball.... This is probably what "closed off" looks like. Had to repeat myself, wasn't speaking loud enough.... Ugh... Stupid new picture.
