My Hospital Stay

My Hospital Stay

So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

@utopia I do believe your heart pain is all to do with missing me - your poor little heart is breaking without me around lol

Bugger. Why did I not get that @Zoe7. That's obviously the reason. The only one that makes sense. I do miss my beautiful butterfly and my good friend and our giggles and talks.
Hopefully soon we will both be in a better head space - where our personalities shine through again - instead of our MI's.
I love you my beautiful butterfly. I hope you have a peaceful night and a deep and dreamless sleep. A big ling overdue hug for you.
♥

Re: My Hospital Stay

Hi @utopia I just caught up on your posts. I'm glad you could have a chuckle with one of the nurses. And I'm glad your heart is ok. When a patient says "chest pain" you get all the bells and whistles and rushed to the front of the queue! Mr Nooks was convinced he was having a heart attack the other night so I took him to ER and it turned out to be anxiety/panic attack. It's quite common I think but you just can't risk assuming in case it is something more sinister.

Mr Nooks gets chest pain and can't breath when he has anxiety, I get physically agitated and keep screwing up my toes and shaking, my mums arms go numb and she gets tunnel vision! It's curious how it manifests in different ways for everyone isn't it?

I hope you sleep well tonight xx

@Zoe7. I'm not surprised you are wiser than me. Besides being far more educated When my MI lurks around - plus the meds - more brain cells cease to be - or go hiding.
@Former-Member - so strange how anxiety manifests in our body. Each time I recommence therapy - my physical anxiety symptims change.
Went for my first leave (on my own - unescourted). Went ti shops. Depressing. Either because of the price of everything (even at warehouse outlets) or they don't have my size (big).
Am totally exhausted from that walk / shopping. Just ate a quick lunch and going to bed.
Depression is lurking around the corner.

@utopia You have life education my beautiful friend - and that often means more than academic education! But yes - brain cell depletion does not help - and we both have that from watching reality tv together lol

Tell that lurking depression to 'bugger off' - I need my little cocky buddy back ASAP - it is not the same without you around and I miss you dearly.

Sending you love and huge bear hugs also...

Zoe

Re: My Hospital Stay

Thanks @Zoe7. Back at you with the big hug.
Bit tired and flat and irritable now. Been a long emotional and physical week. So bound to be exhausted.
Tomorrow I might go and sit in the park and watch the dogs and try to find some bird feathers on the ground or some interesting bark.
My urge for touch and texture is very high at the moment. Must be time to hug a tree & then myself.
Sweet dreams everyone. Tomorrow is a new day - allowing new beginnings.
