I'm at the "hands are not steady and eyes won't stay focused" point in feeling bad and not able to stay in reality

@confusedcharlot No, I'm a part time temporary employee so I really don't. Theoretically I could, because no one seems to care about how much I'm actually in (they let me skip an entire day last week with hardly any justification) but we're such a small team that if I leave I'll feel bad about putting more weight on my boss and coworkers who are all more busy than me outside of work w/ young kids

@masklayer well try to ground yourself if you can. splashing cold water on my face helps me sometimes.

other things can also help, but i usually don't want to get caught doing something embarrassing
