Why do I Feel So Sick?

I finally made my phone call today to the Mental Health Association for housing. Mine and my son's sleeping schedules have been so off, that I've been waking up after they close. Today, I haven't slept. I wish I could now that my son is taking a nap. But I'm going to have to wake him up soon. I'm going to go to the office in a few minutes to fill out an application and find out what my options are. I thought it was the phone call that was the most scary thing for me. Why now, when I should be getting ready to go, so that I'm ready when my ride gets here, am I panicking? Not only am I panicking, but I'm sick to my stomach. I thought for sure I'd be fine after the phone call. It's over and now I'm freaking out so much, I had to lay down. What is wrong with me?

Hello, AShadow721. Sorry this happened. The lack of sleep may be part of it. You may be more anxious about going to the office than you realized?

Anywhere, I hope you feel better and get the application filled out.

AShadow,

Is there anyone that could go with you for support?

Well, I most say, I had the worst panic attack I believe I ever had. It lasted about 2-3 hours. I was so scared that I didn't want my friend to leave the car to get gas. Then on the way back, we had to stop because I was feeling so sick and I vomited. At least it was after the interview. My clothes got ruined. I can't understand why I was so anxious. I know the lack of sleep made it so much worse. And today was one of those cloudy, foggy days that always make me sick and anxious in the car. Well, at least I did get the application filled out. I spoke to this woman a little bit about my situation. And she had had similar issues in her life. It was nice to talk to someone in person. They don't have any openings in their only apartment complex that I could go to for financial reasons right now. So it could be days, weeks, or months before they do have an opening. But at least I know now that they do allow children, and the therapist is right there in the office. But they gave me a bunch of papers with all the resources I could possibly need. I'll just hope for a good outcome now. Slowinmi, my friend drove me there, but stayed in the car with my son, because my son fell asleep during the drive.

Congratulations on fighting your way through this, AShadow.

I'll pray that you get into the apartment very soon AShadow! Get some sleep now, you hear! Take care of yourself and your little one.
