I'm a bit panicky today
Everyone's waiting for a suicide bombing.
This probably would be a good day for the house arrest I was talking about.

How to describe this dread of impending disaster?
Well, the symptoms are more or less the following: My throat feels constricted, my breathing is slightly labored and my heart beats way faster and harder than usual. Oh, and I feel nauseous. (No, I'm not pregnant). And I must have done about 50% of the work I usually do everyday (No wonder the economy's in such dire straits!).

O.K., calm down, Imshin. These hysterics are not helpful. They'll be sending in the guys in the white coats next.

Talk about post-traumatic stress disorder. Looks like I've got pre-traumatic stress disorder!
