And my body said...
Poo poo to you, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want to even if you have better things to do.
I have been having an anxiety attack since Monday morning. And who knows, really, it may have started on Sunday night, or even before that. It was building up. I should have known.
When this happens, I don't sleep well, I get butterflies in my stomach that last for hours and get to the point where I feel like I'm going to throw up caterpillars, I cold sweat, I palpitate, I feel like someone has wrapped my chest in duct tape. It's fun, really. Oh right, and the crying... I can't forget the crying...
On top of all of this, I usually am rendered fairly non-functional, so I have been hanging around the house for the past few days because I'm afraid if I go to class or clinic I will have a meltdown.
It's the kind of thing that makes me feel crazy and then makes me feel incompetent. I know it will pass, but its timing sucks.
Thank god for Mr. Xanax, and even more for my wonderful little PCP (primary care doc) who let me cry in his office on Monday.
I promise I will write about nursing again someday, but today I just had to bitch. And moan.
