I'm having a tough time right now. I posted the the other day about back pain, but after several days I deleted because checking back and forth was making more more anxious.
Then yesterday we had a new washer installed (last week out AC was leaking and our washer broke on the same day).
After the installation we discovered a small leak from the water turn on and below was soaked. We couldn't tell if it was so wet because the installation people spilled out a lot of water when they switched the machines (they did) or if it was from the leak. I have a big fear of mold so this was upsetting.
We cleaned up the area and cut out a small bit of drywall to check and it looks fine, but it was upsetting. Then I found one small patch of mold near where the AC had been leaking.
Today I woke up with gunky lungs, as always happens when I'm around a lot of dust - especially dry wall for some reason.
I took a shower and while I was washing my hair somehow water went straight down my nose to my lungs - like STRAIGHT DOWN. It choked me and was really unsettling. Now I've got myself worked up about getting pneumonia or pulmonary edema from getting so much water in my lungs.
I bent over and started coughing hard when I felt it going down the back of my nose, so it's hard to say how much actually got in my lungs. But I had to cough for a good minute.
My back pain is around my ribs, so that will likely get re-irritated (it never stopped hurting all the way) from the coughing and deep breathing.
I haven't been in a big pile on like this in a while. I just feel so overwhelmed.
