Follow-up

Sep 25, 2005 19:30

OK, it's time I reported back. I saw the Doctor, and a very impressive doctor he was. He saw my seizure, as I call it, as a panic attack, brought about by the stress of my exhibitions, of renovations and capital campaign for Printed Matter, and of travel, and perhaps triggered by a dream that I don't remember. I described the intense pain that I had been having in my jaw for the two days preceding (which is now gone), and he thought that further proof... the stress appeared as jaw pain first. I do feel that a sort of empathic overload was also involved, but maybe that just increased the stress to the breaking point and helped direct the form that the unloading took... I also remember a dream from the night before, in which I was crying and wailing (I don't remember about what), which also seems to fit.

At any rate, the message from my body is that I should slow down and delegate more. Also, I should take a holiday, but that will be awhile in coming.

In the meantime I am trying to do one thing at a time, not stress out too much, and keep myself centered and grounded.

I find myself oddly spaced out. My ability to visualize is returning, although my ability to multi-task still escapes me for the moment. To be truthful, I feel anesthetized... I think that is the side effect of the seizure.
