I'm feeling so "off" tonight. My heart rate has been high, but my blood pressure is low. I feel like vibrating feeling in my body. I just have a general unease, nauseousness. I don't know, I just feel like crap. My arms are weak...is it from typing for 10 hours at at time? Is it something else? I just need some support tonight.

MGG,

You've been pushing hard at school/studying/exams right? That would account for a 'sick day'. Not that you are really sick...just exhausted and worn out...and it ends up feeling the same!

Of course what most people chalk up to just this...

...we go on high alert...increasing the already present stress...increasing the yucky feelings and symptoms.

Tell yourself this is a normal reaction....your body saying, "Hey, how about a time-out for rest?"

I hope you can find some time soon to just take it easy and recoup!

Thanks SC. I'm trying to remember that I've felt like this before. My heart rate is still in the 100's and I'm having a hard time calming down.

I'm on spring break right now, so I do have a bit of down time right now.

I'm getting my period in a week and I'm wondering if some of this is PMS. I've noticed recently, that the week before has been really difficult. Maybe hormones are starting to go haywire now that I'm 40? I don't know, my left side is hurting now and it's making me more worried.

Yes! Definitely had some wonky hormonal shifts around that time... (I've got 6 yrs on you) I never really had PMS or period issues until about this time.

...but another thing to consider...

Sometimes I struggle during down time...the first few days of a break at least. It is sort of like coming down from an adrenaline fueled period...and the anxiety can swoop in at this opportunity, while I am not as distracted with activity.

Keep using those positive mantras and keep up with your coping skills...you'll get through this!
