Thursday

So I'm standing at the receptionist desk at the end of our work day with 2 other nurses, the 3 of us talking with the receptionist when BAM!........a full blown panic attack from God knows where, hits me. I interrupt the conversation to say "I'm having a full blown panic attack."

The nurse to my left says "I have Xanax, do you want one?" The receptionist says "I have Klonopin in my purse if you want one." And then the 2 of them start discussing their emotional problems and all of the medications they've taken for those problems. The nurse to my right put her arm around my shoulder and asks if my sons 20th birthday is what brought this on...........apparently her son just turned 20 and it caused her to have an anxiety attack. Bless her heart. She's such a nice person and I don't think I've been as nice to her as I could be. That was my thought................and then I started crying.

I'm feeling better now that I'm home and have had a couple hours to relax.

with everything that's been going on in your life lately it's no wonder you're having anxiety!

take some time for yourself to relax and have fun.
