Anyone Else Nervous and How Are You Dealing With It? [View all]

I was raised by an overly pessimistic mother and have anxiety disorder/depression, so I am pretty much a nervous wreck. Yes I know we should win handily tonight but I am still jumping out of my skin. I am on disability, so don't have a lot of money and hate to drive so it's just me and the dog til about 7 tonight when my sister has promised to come sit with me.

Anyone else feeling this way and how do you deal? Any tips?
