The first few days felt like I was high on speed obviously but then I focused well for the rest of the month and accomplished a lot. Then, anxiety started setting in and breath issues the last week or 10 days or so. It was a small dose afaik and I was supposed to schedule another appointment if the dose wasn’t enough after that.

Shit man. A 7 to 10 is as intense as it gets

Way waaaaay easier said than done but you should consider a follow up appointment, if for nothing else a more thorough medical file.

Yup, for sure. COVID is the issue atm. Today, the secretaries were wearing Vikings masks that they made. Is that right? Or should they be wearing n95s?

Down to a 4-5ish. It’s weird, I think I was prepared for election night drama but not election eve drama with predictit going crazy. If you recall, in 2016 it followed a totally different pattern.

There’s clearly a very strong connection between mind and gut that causes the stomach to do some pretty bad things at times.
I was sent home from work once years ago when the colour suddenly drained from my face and I felt giddy and shaky and people were coming up to me and asking if I was ok and offering to drive me home lol.
Hopefully you can get some rest and try to empty your mind a bit (impossible today, I know).

. wrong thread
Wrong thread but holy shit.
Anyone else feel like they’re in withdrawal or something from the political cycle? Also just completely exhausted?
I feel as tired as maybe I’ve ever felt, kind of hollow about it, and I’m just grinding through the last few days trying to find a couple of hours of productivity.
I’m guessing I’m not alone in that, I’m sure this election took a lot out of some of us.

I had about 1-2 days of that and now I’m back to being mega-anxious around the clock.

Yeah I’m avoiding that, calmness about the outcome is a blessing and a curse here though. Especially in a pandemic. Netflix ain’t cutting it for drama/entertainment.
I wish i could relate but i feel better than i have in years. Like a massive weight off.
But i have had issues with productivity.

I feel the same, it’s just like the ability to finally take a deep breath again is great but also lets me really feal the tiredness.
I sobbed in the shower this morning. It came out of no where and I’m still processing it. Just a combination of working long hours, helping a kid learn virtually, and constantly cooking and cleaning is wearing on me. It’s like I never have time to just relax and chill. Even if I do get time my mind is just on the other task I don’t have finished yet.
I have this feeling that I have nothing left in the tank to give but that I need to just keep working and pushing through it. It’s not fair to my family to do anything different.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this but I thought I should just to let other people who are struggling know that they are not alone.
Edit: My Mom was exposed to covid 19 and is having symptoms. She is high risk. She got tested yesterday and we are waiting on results. I’m sure that is adding to everything.

I didn’t flag it, but I can see how some people might feel that this thread is a sacrosanct space where that entire exchange doesn’t belong.
