As the title states I'm sleepy. I'm exhausted. Everyone I know is too. Something has sucked all the energy and joy out of life right before Christmas. YUCKY! All I want to do is sleep/ lay in bed.
I've had the flu... or quite possibly anxiety disorder - they have the same symptoms and I've been having small panic attacks. I figured flu until yesterday when I went home early from work because I was nauseous only to feel better after a nap and eating a good comfort food dinner – potatoes and eggs. I began to wonder if the tightness in my chest and the constant feeling of not being able to breath was more than I thought.
I looked some things up on Medline Plus (the best place for medical info), I read this list, and then went "crap". All but those last two are the same as flu.
* Racing or pounding heartbeat
* Chest pains
* Stomach upset
* Dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea
* Difficulty breathing, a sense of feeling smothered
* Tingling or numbness in the hands
* Flushes or chills
* Dreamlike sensations or perceptual distortions
* Terror: a sense that something unimaginably horrible is about to occur
and one is powerless to prevent it
* Fear of losing control and/or doing something embarrassing
* Fear of dying
So I'm either really sick or dying. . . er I mean stressed.
