I finally did that thing and went to a doctor. Just a GP for now. She gave a quick checkmark test and says yes I probably have a mild anxiety problem. Ordered blood tests from next door to address my low energy.
The phlebotomist was top-notch and got my vein with no trouble, but a needle is a needle and I winced a little.
"I'm sorry!" She said, "I understand, I hate needles." So I told her about the hygienist-in-training who cleaned my teeth a few years ago and was terrified of dentists, how she wanted to help other people be less scared. I guess it's a common theme among medical specialists.
Going to my hometown tomorrow to help out. They were hit pretty hard by the tornadoes, specifically a neighborhood made largely of Habitat for Humanity homes. Nowhere near as bad as what's happened in Oklahoma, but it's somewhere I can lend my hands and be useful.
One of the servers follows me around talking at me and today he was babbling about all the things happening in such short order this year: Boston, West, these tornadoes. "I mean, do you ever think about it?" Yes, pretty much always.
