Heart Stopper

Confused:    The moment when your eye lid begins to twitch, but you don't realize what is happening.
Scared:  The moment when you realize that your MS could make this a normal thing to start happening.
Distraught:  The series of potentially blinding eye squeezes you perform to stop this madness!
Hysterical:   The beginning motions of poking your eye to get the twitching to stop.
Thankful:     The moment where you realize you just spent 30 seconds flailing like an imbecile.
Embarrassed: The moment when you realized if you had only stopped freaking out, you would have noticed that your eye twitched once.

Moral: Step back, re-evaluate your potential problem, create a plan (preferrably one without flailing arms, violent eye blinking, and dizzying eye pokes), and then attempt to fix the problem (which probably seems a lot less difficult/deadly/impossible now).  THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.

"The secret of getting ahead is getting stated.  The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one." -Mark Twain
