Yesterday turned out to be a stressful day.
Came out of nowhere. Not really a horrible event but I sure made it that in my mind. Is this part of the concussion syndrome?? Overreaction to stress. I don't know. I was emotional (crying which I don't often do), anxious (for no reason) and angry (which I couldn't let go). I had a physical weight on my chest from anxiety that wouldn't relieve itself, even after the stressor passed. That's never happened.
Today I am drained. Emotionally, physically. It's all strange. I'm fighting feeling sad and overwhelmed. FOR NO REASON!!!! I don't get it. I have my oddities, but this is not one of them.
I'm seeing a chiropractor, acupuncturist today. He helped with my back injury (golf!) about a year ago. I'll see what he says.
I feel like I'm slowly going crazy (a different crazy from my normal crazy - lol). Brain stuff is hard to figure out.
I may return to work tomorrow.
If the drive to doctor's today goes well (about an hour highway).
If HR lets me return without clearance (my stress from yesterday - no return to work clearance - must see neurologist first - stupid!!)
If my boss agrees with HR.
I'm ready to go back AND I'm not ready to go back. I think I'm nervous I won't be able to do it. But I miss it and I'm bored. I had an out to quit yesterday, but I didn't take it. I don't want to leave yet and I don't want to leave under these circumstances.
As much as I don't want to workout today, I'm going to give it a go. That helps boost my mood (always - usually - hopefully).
I'm gaining an appreciation for people who suffer from mental difficulties (anxiety, stress, depression). I sometimes experience these feelings, but they are situational and quick to resolve. I don't live there and I don't go there for no reason. But this month I have ... over and over. Just when I think I've behaved out of it ... wham ... I go there again. I honestly want to crawl in bed today and cry.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BRAIN!!??!?! This concussion is winning and that pisses me off.
Okay - enough for now. Later gators.
