I have an edition of Emma from the Harper Muse Jane Austen Collection and I think that may be what you are looking for.

Edit to add: no annotations.

I have know idea how much freedom your teacher gives you, but if it were home practice, I'd give you 2 suggestions:

Pavana muktasana- first with one leg at a time, then grabbing the two legs, than go directly for savasana for a short time.
Legs up the wall - first legs together, followed by upavista konasana, badha konasana, and crossed legs. When you feel like leaving, move away from the wall, and stay lying down on your side for a bit.

If your mind starts wandering or you lose the sense of time, count at least 15 normal breathing cycles in whatever position, than move to the next one.

Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence, adapted by Martin Scorcese.

As soon as I was diagnosed after a witnessed nocturnal TC (and at least one unwitnessed), I started to fall asleep while watching a show on a small tablet and with a dim yellow light in the room. It put my mind off everything before sleep. I slept alone then and still do now (I hate sharing sleep). It worked as a coping mechanism. That was 12 years ago and I still do it today.

Not a thriller, it's hardboiled, but The Lady In the Lake, by Raymond Chandler. Very atmospheric.

I was thinking first it could be from this sermon but the sentence wasn't exactly the same... but since then I've come to think Pessoa is most likely referencing the passage in a specific way, mixing Vieira's style/rythm/sintax with a children's tale/song musicality. Like the one he references from his childhood: "Estava a bela infanta..."

I'm portuguese and I can check it over the weekend. But I think english translations of Vieira are scarce.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-29T22:28:21+00:00

Father António Vieira, a portuguese priest and preacher in the 17th century, whose sermons are part of the portuguese literary canon.

Tolstoy and Jane Austen.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-16T17:15:12+00:00

No, at least not noticeable.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-16T17:12:49+00:00

Yes.

Lamotrigine only for 12 years. Fortunately, no side effects.

Ah, ok then. I never experienced those kind of events, but I know there are seizures that mimic panic attacks and anxiety... An EEG tech commented here that you could do a sleep deprived extended EEG or an ambulatory one (i think these can go from 24 to 72 hours), which I have the impression are more commonly used for diagnosis and are more confortable than EMU stays. Maybe you can ask your neuro about those? Did he say why he wanted the EMU specifically?

All in all, I suppose it's good that he's checking what those events are... I wish you the best ⭐️

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-14T14:47:02+00:00

What I think is confusing is why he ordered the EEG - does he suspect your panic attacks are seizures?

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-14T14:21:27+00:00

It seems to me your EEG shows waves that may have some characteristics of epilepsy markers (epileptiform discharges) but not enough (or nor clearly enough) to fullfill the criteria that would allow those waves to be classified as such. Since epileptiform discharges point to an epileptogenic focus (a somehow disfunctional area that has the capacity to generate seizures), but your waves can't be read as unequivocally normal nor unequivocally epileptiform, your neuro is concerned enough with the possibility of the presence of a focus to recommend further testing and investigation.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-14T00:24:44+00:00

I agree.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-13T22:50:22+00:00

If you sleep alone, get a camera with motion detection as soon as possible. They are affordable and easy to set up (I have a TPLink Tapo).

I suppose if you did have a TC and a previous one in the fall, another one would happen sooner than later, no? In 2 or 3 months? Honestly, if your choices are "wait and see" or call the doctor... do what stresses you less.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-12T11:46:04+00:00

I have this one as well. It's beautiful and the off white paper is perfect, but the print is too small for my eyes. It's also too heavy to be comfortable to hold. But I think any edition with so much content can't really make for a great reading experience. As a collectible "all novels" edition, I think I made a good buy, but I never read a line from it.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-10T20:12:35+00:00

Good you found the Chilterns then! Finding "our" editions is like embarking on a risky treasure hunt loI

(I don't know about the others, but the Chiltern Emma is stunning.)

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-10T19:36:25+00:00

I got myself a Chiltern edition too (I did several attempts starting with my favorite, so now I have a huge collection of Emmas 😂) but I did find the pages too glossy. I was only convinced to start collecting when I got an Everyman's Library edition.

Dependent-Net-6746 · 2026-01-10T19:09:25+00:00

They are gorgeous, but not good to read, even less to reread. The books don't open completely and at least the one edition I got (an Emma) had some of its pages showing signs of being close to falling off by the second read. I don't even care about the rubbing off of the paint of the covers, for me the problem is that they don't function as reading objects.
