Pure PANIC...
Jan. 26th, 2023 01:17 pmLast week on Wednesday, I had an episode during work. I was doing the trash(avac) and I happened to lift several bags that were on the heavier side and my heart started racing,which is normal,when doing any sort of strenuous activity. I felt the weight of those heavier bags in my chest and was fine after completing that task. Then a few minutes later,I had a panic attack,unlike any other I experienced before,it was like watching my own body,separately, while still in my body. Weird explanation,I know. I couldn't control my heart,which had begun to race. Luckily I put in for a early release,so the manager let me leave early and my coworker who knows the situation drove me home. Thank Goodness the managers let her leave early to take me home. I was overly emotional,which I never am,and Iconcluded along with some of my coworkers,that it was a panic attack,which lasted about forty-five minutes. I haven't had one before,but Ithink feeling that weight in my chest triggered it to happen and made me think of the week before when I went to the hospital. I tried talking to my mom about it.after I settled down,but She did nothing more than make my anxiety creep up again. Certain things(which are A LOT in between this instance and others) That you can't discuss with her. Which is another entry for another day. I have had a dull aching sensation on the left side of my chest occuring every now and then. One day at a time and now a week after that episode I am doing well and taking it easy. I hope it was just a fluke,and I will rest more often,like calling out of work today,lol. My body needed it.
