Something Happened Yestarday
Something happened yestarday and I'm not entirely sure what.
Without wanting to go into too many details, I had pulled an all-nighter on Sunday/Monday and had to work. In order to help me get throught the day I had a Rockstar Energy Drink. All seemed well, I was able to get through the rest of my day without too much trouble. While driving home, however, I experienced what can only be described as a panic attack. I was having trouble focusing my eyes on one thing at once, it was a bit like trying to see when you blink your eyes really fast, only without the blinking. This made driving difficult and I started to panic. I missed a number of turns and was driving at a crawl just trying to get my bearings. I looked for a good place to pull over and let whatever was happening pass, but by then I must have driven around a block or something because I found my street and pulled into my apartment.
I don't really know what to make of this. I hadn't eaten much that day, in fact I had only had a cup of coffee, a soda and the Rockstar energy drink. My best guess is that the lack of food in my stomache caused the caffine and whatever the hell else is in that stuff to absorbe into my system quicker and somehow it all hit at once.
So just as a word of warning, be careful with that stuff.
