It's Kind of Like Claustrophobic Feelings....

1-25-18

This morning, my nose was stuffy, I was still tired, even after being able to sleep 7 or 8 hours last night.

We got in the car to go to my husband's work.  On the way, I texted a note to a friend.  I normally try not to do that, because reading or focusing on anything in the car often makes me get a big headache, and my eyes and stomach hurt if I do it for an extended period of time.  However, I wanted to make sure I sent the text, so I did.

Shortly thereafter I felt some "panicky" feelings.  Then I started getting hot.  Then cold, and I felt the urge to visit a bathroom.

I took a Clonazepam.  I was thinking that perhaps I can take it during the day without it making me fall asleep since I already fell asleep last night, whereas if I take it at night, I'm already really tired from the day's work, that it just makes me fall asleep.

9 a.m.

I'm a little tired right now, and could probably lie down and sleep, but I have to leave soon to go to work today, so I do not have time to sleep, but I do not have those feelings, so that's good.  They went away soon after I felt them and after I took the Clonazepam.

On the drive home, I thought that the feelings are akin to feeling Claustrophobic.  I remember in 2003, when I had an enclosed MRI test, I did not last long.  I started feeling buried alive, and wanted to get out, so they brought me out.

The "panicky" feelings often arise, out of nowhere, as they did today, and I feel like I need to get away from those feelings.  I sort of frantically searching my mind for a way to stop the feelings.

Those are my thoughts for now.   : )
