Ya know how you can do something that is so embarrassing that later you
make it worse by being ashamed and apologizing when the other party
didn't even think it was a big deal to begin with...? or maybe it
is just me. muttering, shrugging shoulder, raising one palm
and eyebrow. sigh.
Alright, well then, ya might know how silly, embarrassed, shamed-faced,
and regretful I felt on Friday afternoon. Cuz boy did I pitch a
fit at the gym, standing at the front desk in a bathing suit, two
towels, and my sandles. I didn't mean to. It just kinda get
away from me.
I did apologize profusely once I calmed down. And then I burst
into tears, which made as all uncomfortable. I hate bursting into
tears like that. sigh. seems sorta childish.
Of course, I would have a full-blown panic attack, complete with
hyperventilation and woozy wibble-wobbles (like the weeble-people,
remember them?). I tried to stifle it instead of letting it run
its course. That made me panicky cuz I was panicking, see the
vicious cycle here?
Fortunately, I think we got everything squared away. I
apologized, they apologized, they calmed my panic attack and I took my
jittery butt to the pool. I sat on the edge and dangled my legs
til I got it all together and then did some relaxing strokes til all
the tension was gone.
Upon reflection, I realized that I most likely was beginning to feel
the effects of missing several doses of my anti-depressant. I
forgot to get it filled. So, Saturday I got all my drugs for the
month. And I think I feel much better for the most part.
Now if I could just do something about my allergies. The pollen
is wrecking my sinuses. Even though I take allergy meds, this
time of the year is hard on me. The post-nasal drippage is
tearing up my throat, which in turn is messing with my ears and that
is throwing off my balance. It's a dizzying experience.

Poor you with allergies; I'm blessed in that I don't suffer from them, but I know those who do are just miserable during whatever season they have them the worst in.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the event at the gym, but I'm sure it was because of being off those antidepressants for those few days. I know the doctors I type for say not to stop them abruptly glad you got them refilled
