Well I crawled through University yesterday. The unit seems awesome (Digital Journalism) but my body barely made it home. My heart raced, I was dizzy, pain levels high, and my brain felt like it was being crushed. The efforts of this week has made my fibromyalgia worse. Upon returning home I curled up in bed but couldn’t sleep. My stomach was in knots so I ate little for dinner. I took some seroquel and thankfully slept nine hours.
This morning I felt like I’ve been hit by a truck. At least I have nothing on today besides a little study. My physical state is discouraging, and very uncomfortable but I plan to push on. Next week on top of uni I have a few appointments as well. It is going to be a challenge. All I can do is push through and hope it eases up soon. I will take rest breaks as often as I can. I have a few more weeks to decide to pull out of some units if I need to before I am financially or academically penalised. I will wait it out. I really enjoyed my classes so I hope I can keep going.
My stress levels are immense. My stomach declares this. I have to be careful as despair creeps in fast at times. For now though I have two days rest.
