I don't know Tiny, this seems like a therapy crisis to me.
I know how frustrating it is when you are uncomfortable, but whatever you do (if you can do anything) doesn't make it better. And when the discomfort is in multiple areas of your life at the same time (your floor, your feet, your friend) - It just makes me want to wriggle out of than place and let out a big whine. But somehow the wriggling doesn't usually get me out of the place, which leaves me just with the discomfort and the whine.
Maybe your friend tends to be busy, but maybe she could find a little time for you *today*? What helped me most the last time was for someone to do something that was "taking care of" me.
If you can't find a friend or relative to do that, then go to a restaurant and let the waitress take care of you. If it is a slow time in the restaurant, maybe she will even listen to you whine a little.
Or go to your local library and ask the librarian to help you find some particular kind of thing. [Now I'm having a little panic attack - I'm a librarian and I would spend oodles of time helping you find just the right thing, but sometimes librarians are sooo busy, or just don't know, or have bad attitudes. I would hate to have you run into that. But I guess that can happen with any profession. So, if you get an unhelpful librarian, find another - or go to another library - you don't need to be a card holder to ask for assistance in finding materials that you will use in the library.]
I am rambling a bit. Do something nice for yourself, and only choose 1 goal at a time. When you finish that one goal, then you can think about the next.
Been there,
Falls
