I keep having nightmares that I am in high school and about to graduate but I’m missing a class or have failed several classes (it’s usually something like PE or Art, sometimes English) and can’t graduate and/or have ruined my academic record forever. I wake up confused and have a hard time convincing myself that everything’s OK, that I definitely finished high school and even medical school. I’m not totally sure what about the current situation is bringing up this particular flavor of anxiety dream – maybe the fact that I’m going to have to work in the ICU more, which I hate and always find frightening and feel like I am never fully prepared for?


In better news, I slept for 8 hours last night! It was interrupted and there was a nightmare but still! (I’ve been so stressed and anxious lately that I haven’t been managing more than five or so.)
