I'm having a terrible evening. I have ME and I totally overdid it yesterday and have been shattered and in a lot of pain all day. I finally managed to get out of bed at 5pm, feeling able to stand up at last.
It was at that point that panic set in. Totally out of the blue. When I'm poorly it's a massive trigger for panic. I felt nauseous and dizzy, then my heart started pounding. I thought some food might help so I tried to make some toast, but the dizziness kicked in every time I stood up. Finally I got it toasted and sat on the floor eating it, but I was naiseous and couldn't stomach it even though I was ravenous.
I laid on the floor for a bit until I could get to the sofa. I'm so shattered I keep dozing off. I want to go to bed but every time I try to get up I come over dizzy and my heart starts pounding and I can't even get out of the lounge, let aline up the stairs without fainting.
I really, really hate this. I keep telling myself it will pass (it always does). But this is just horrible, I want it to pass NOW! I want to get into bed and warm up, but I'm freezing on the sofa and I can't get up. I hate this horrible illness and I just want to cry.
