My chronic anxiety is back to forget me in the ass after almost 6 years of me thinking it was gone. And this time, it means business.
On Saturday, I came down with a sinus infection. Now, normally I would be fine, just take some allergy medicine and I'd be alright. But, no, Things got much worse because I somehow managed to convince myself that I had meningitis, a rare but extremely fatal disease, because some of my symptoms were the same. Throughout Labor Day weekend, my blood pressure was through the roof because of my constant anxiety, along with my previously listed symptoms and a constant feeling of dread, wondering if I'd wake up the next day. One second, I'd be laying down on a couch. Another, walking in circles in another room. Seconds felt like hours.
Come Tuesday, I was a complete wreck, both mentally and physically. My dad finally agreed to take me into the doctor to end my worrying. She confirms it as a sinus infection and gave me some antibiotics and some other meds to take if I ever have an anxiety attack like this again.
This was, by far, the worst anxiety attack I have ever had in my life and I'm going to try seeing a psychiatrist from now on to try and prevent something like this in the future.
TL;DR: I come down with a sinus infection, but my anxiety decides to forget me in the ass and make me think I'm going to die for 3 days.
