Behold: A brief relapse into the anxiety I have not felt in months.
I'm having panic attack, Hadas-style. It's somewhere between a minor stroke and an epic hiccup.
Symptoms:
- Occurs at odd hours of the night
- Comes out of nowhere
- Foreshadowed by a week of very strange, rather intense dreams
- Generally concerns deadlines to be met, phone calls to be made, and emails to be sent that I've been putting off for a while, just because
- I try to distract myself by thinking of other people, and then, in the heat of the moment, find myself apathetic towards them, and embark upon a mini-existential crisis
- My breathing becomes irrational
- I. CAN'T. SLEEP.
I get nervous when I feel the presence and potency of time. My dad can't sleep either. He and I, were more similar than we know.
