Felt like crud.

Hi all,


So yeaterday was supposed to be a good day and it ended up turning out crappy. I finished my early morning class (9-11am) but during the middle of it had a panic attack and had to leave for 20 minutes or so. It would not have been so bad except there are only 10 people in the class so it was obvious when i left for a while and then came back. I felt a bit better after class and then was looking forward to a lunch date with my g/f.I don't usually have a problem eating in restaruants (usually order vegetarian meals though or beef, never chicken or pork or fish or anything that could be sketchy) but for some reason I had another panic attack and only was able to eat a few bites of food. My g/f knew something was up but didn't say anything. I just asked the server to pack up my food to go but I really wanted to know where the washroom was (i had never been to this restaraunt before) but she left too fast. I felt that if I got up to search for the bathroom it would make my g/f frustrated and so I just casually hurried her along so we could leave and walk home.


Once home, I felt better, did some yoga and ate the remainder of my meal. It was onyl about 1/2 an hour later and then I felt sick. I went and had a bath and then I laid down for an hour. When I woke up I didn't feel any better, shaky, tired, nauseaus. I laid on the couch and watched some t.v and at about 7ish ate some Won Ton soup which made me feel bloated. I felt crappy all the way to bed and couldn't even enjoy the Golden Globes which were on T.V. When i woke up I this morning, I decided to skip class and stay home (I figured my body was telling me something) and now I feel better, but it has only been within the past hour that I have sort of myself again.


Does anyone have any idea what this could have been? I'm not super worried about it but it was weird as usually my panic attacks happen only once in a day if at all and I had two yesterday! Also I felt ill for the rest fo the day. Today I'm stuffed up and achey.


I also just realized that this whole entry has done nothing but complain. Sorry!!


Have a happy day all!

That kind of thing happens to me when my anxiety is high... and sometimes
that happens for no good reason...

Jenny,


You might have just been overtired, and had too much on your mind! I had a similar experience a few months ago, when my dad went into hospital. I'd been panicky all day, and was going out for dinner with a friend (I thought going out would take my mind off my dad, but it didn't). I felt ok in the car on the way there, but as soon as we got our meals brought to us at the restaurant, I could hardly eat anything. It got really bad just before we went into the cinemas to see a movie - so I ended up telling my friend everything. It was the first time I'd told anyone about my emet, and it REALLY helped.


Does your g/f know about your fears? I would reccommend telling her, it will make you feel so much better, as it did for me. Sometimes panic can hit you alot harder, and you can be really shaky and nauseous for a whole day. Don't worry about it Sometimes our bodies can recover quickly, sometimes - when they're a bit run down - it takes longer.
