Aug. 11th, 2008 09:46 pmHoly fucking jesus, I think I just had a panic attack. I've never had one before, but what the internet tells me they're like was pretty spot-on.
I just finished watching a movie, a goofy romantic comedy because I'm too tired from no sleep + nightmares to watch the documentary I had planned. I got up from the couch and put my computer on my desk, plugged it in, and then all of a sudden all the blood rushed to my head and I got dizzy and started sweating and hyperventilating and my face got all hot and my chest hurt and I was so, so scared and I thought I was having a heart attack except that nothing was wrong with my left arm.
Does that sound like a panic attack, if you've had one? Should I go to the doctor? Should I just take a hydrocodone and go to bed and chalk it up to exhaustion and stress? That was really scary.
Sedea just sent me a text confirming our plan to go to LA for a weekend in September to stay with Nancy, and that was good timing--I really need a weekend away.
