Chris,Dang that ole anxiety raising it's ugly head; how we would all like to get a stronghold on anxiety ! Most of the time when we are doing good we don't think about anxiety.
Working ER my peers and I would get stressed out from time to time or minute to minute on a tough day - so we had this little jingle we adopted:
"I called my doctor on the telephone
"Help me doctor, there's something wrong
I can't shake it, it's gone too far"
He said, "Tell me what your symptoms are"
I said "My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and I can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose"
He said, "It sounds like stress has a hold on you"
If you are a country music fan you may recognize this little ditty from a song by Alan Jackson.
By the time we all sang a verse we were smiling and ready to face our next challenge.
I wish you peace,
Kitt
