Feeling a bit uneasy about this winter storm. · 2:06am Feb 17th, 2021
Most of you have known already about the big
winter storm that’s causing power outages across multiple cities and even states. I live In Texas right now and it’s the first time in history where we have temperatures fall below 10 degrees and causing our electricity to be shut off unexpectedly. Right now I’m at a friend’s house and we have a fireplace going and multiple candles lit in the house. But I keep hearing our electricity won’t be turned back on until Friday and I’m having a mild panic attack about it. Can someone just let me know that everything will be okay please? I really don’t feel good right now....

First of all, I advise taking a deep breath. Panicking solves nothing, and I really do find it interesting how much a deep breath can help me calm down a bit.
Second, there are ways to get heat and cook food. Yeah, it's going to stink in the meantime, but it's less than four days until Friday.
Third, there are many things you can do to keep yourself distracted. Video games might be out, but board and card games are still a go. Also if you do art and stuff, that's available.
The cold is not going to last. It will eventually move on and stuff will become normal again temperature-wise. Hold on, hold out, and don't give into those voices that demand you give in to panic that will (metaphorically) paralyze you.
I'll be praying for ya. And for those stuck in this weather.
You’re right... it’s just sometimes these unexpected situations can get a little bit nerve wracking for me, Thanks for the reassurance btw.
