Moving, Stress and panic attack flare ups….
Aug 9th, 2008 by Michelle
Friday the movers came as scheduled and all was GREAT. First Choice Movers in Tampa are the BEST movers ever! No this is not a sponsored post for anyone, this is just my opinion. I wish he two guys who moved me could stay and unpack me they were so good lol! Being a single mom moving is hard enough but these guys made it the best experience ever!
Anyways later that evening my parents decided to take my son and I out to dinner at Golden Corral which is a GREAT place to eat. It’s a buffet style place for those who don’t know what it is. Friday was Steak and Seafood night. As always I started with a salad (I am a huge salad fan) and then I had some iced tea with it. I really wasn’t up to going out for dinner. I was exhausted and I was so stiff I could barely move so I thought well maybe if I eat something I will feel better. Well, I went to get up to get my entrée and all of the sudden I got very flush, my hands and feet felt tingly numb, I was dizzy, my head hurt, my heart was racing, all of the sudden there were too many people in the restaurant. I was sick to my stomach (not from any of the food), my legs felt weak, it was HORRIBLE. My purse was in my Dads car which had my emergency Xanax in it. So my mom went to get my purse and I took one and I was OK afterwards. We were supposed to go to Sam’s Club afterwards and pick up a Vacuum cleaner and an Office chair but I couldn’t make it to another crowded place, I felt weak and tired after that panic attack. So we went home, I relaxed for an hour and then my Xanax had put me back to being normal and I was actually able to unpack all the boxes in my bedroom which was a great stress reducer except now I have a wicked pain on the side of my neck so not sure if it’s a draft hitting my neck or if its my TMJ acting up and if I just pulled it. I do know my TMJ is acting up and it has for a while now since my stress has been higher.
Well time to go and relax and unpack one box at a time.
