Well, That's A Concern...
Oct. 13th, 2015 11:28 pm11:07pm: This morning while driving to work I had a panic attack, not as bad as the one I had last month but there was still scratching involved despite my best efforts - because you can't sit on your hands when you're driving! D: And just my luck Mum has a part-time job at Dad's school these days and was on her way to work on the scooter this morning when I tried to call her for moral support. In the end I called Mrs S to tell her I was running late and why and she told me to take my time and drive safe, so that was good.
What is not good, though, are these panic attacks! This one seemed to be set off by swallowing my hayfever tablet strangely, it felt like it was still choking me, which made me feel nauseous and you all know how that goes with me. Also, I'm currently reading a book about anxiety, although to be honest I don't think it's related, although I probably shouldn't have stopped right after reading about the symptoms.
In all seriousness though...this seems to be related to PMS, like I said last month about a week out from that time o' the month I had a panic attack and I'm pretty sure that for the past few months before that I've felt decidedly off and on edge as well. This is a most unwanted development. I don't have an appointment to see my pyschiatrist until next year - although I guess I could move the date up, but I'm wondering if I should see my new GP, I mean when you get bad PMS they usually put you on the Pill or something. Although, considering all the side-effects of that thing I'd probably rather not... I did end up getting onto Mum who seemed to think I should find out about a stronger anti-anxiety pill (like Xanax, but hopefully not because that stuff is really strong), but then she's not an actual doctor or pyschiatrist. Or maybe, I need to put a reminder on my phone a week out to warn me I might be likely to get edgy and stay calm.
Didn't help that I was late leaving the house this morning to begin with, that certainly would have set up the dominoes for an unpleasant anxiety reaction. Must be more careful!
In other news, I went to the gym and got back on the bike today, no problems whatsoever, yay!
However, I also discovered when I went to work at the library this evening that I wasn't scheduled after all! o.O I could have sworn the person who does the timesheets told me I'd be working every Tuesday until the end of December. But apparently not! Luckily I had to return some books and Dee Why Library isn't far. But that's really odd, because I was at the library yesterday and I could have sworn I saw my name on the Weekly timesheet thing, I guess it must have been the old one.
Although! They asked me to come in for three hours on Saturday, which means Saturday rates - yay! Although it also means I probably can't go ice skating...booo. I guess I'll have to see about going earlier or perhaps going on Sunday.
And on that note, I better haul ass to bed, I haven't being getting enough sleep and that can't be good for my anxiety and what not.
Goodnight all!
