Each day that we’ve gotten closer to this war I’ve become more and more anxious to the point of actually becoming sick. Chris couldn’t sit back and watch anymore so he put his grievances aside and asked that an irshiust be near me at all times to help keep my anxiety at a more manageable level. It’s actually worked, though now I feel like I’m being babysat. I’ve asked them about this calming effect they have. They explained it’s not something they can control, that it works much like pheromones do. I asked if it works on each other, and they told me no, which is a shame. I wish I had that power and could use it on myself, that would be nice. Then it would at least be one thing I don’t need other people for. It’s not that I hate that I need help… okay, I do sometimes. It’s just… I am some
