And now we finally jump back to another set of emotionally stunted women.

Recently I’ve started having fairly severe anxiety attacks again. Generally coming out of sleep, that last an unusually long time. After a pretty long period of having significantly less issues with that sort of thing it’s always worrying when there’s an uptick. The one today left lingering tremors even hours later. The strange part is that some of them have just suddenly stopped. I’ll be shaking and completely gripped by irrational fear and then suddenly I’m fine. That’s a new thing for me. Anyway, I don’t have any further insights, but I try to note these things in the blog just to see if a pattern ever emerges.

Mom will be off taking care of my nephew for two weeks, so it’ll just be me and dad for longer than it has been in quite some time. He recovered from his respiratory sickness and no longer needs oxygen during his day. We have some kind of larger machine he uses just for when he’s home now. It makes a kind of rhythmic noise that I find oddly pleasant.

Anyway that’s about it for now. I hope you have a nice couple of days. I’ll see you on Wednesday, assuming my anxiety doesn’t get me. I’ll be placing gargoyles around my room to ward off spirits. Until we meet again, own the night.

Orifice.

Our prayers are answered, the God Ursa descends upon mankind!

Dude. I’ve been having the exact same thing. I finally went to a doctor about it and got a prescription… ummmh lroazepam. I keep ot on my bedside table. Just having it within reach helps a lot. Maybe that could help you?

I’ll look into it. Thank you for sharing.

I take Buspirone and Bupropion.

Huzzah! Golden Freddy has returned to us lol

*squints and looks closer* Oh no! His new head is actually made of The Backrooms!

I can’t decide if Maddie gasped audibly because of Victoria’s cue or if she would have anyway. Neat stuff.

I think you’ve mentioned that you have sleep apnea, if these attacks are only or mostly happening while you’re sleeping (and/or waking you up), you might want to get your CPAP checked to make sure it’s still working properly, as that might be a symptom of oxygen deprivation. Maybe also look into a neurologist if the CPAP checks out, it could be lingering effects from way back before you got the sleep apnea diagnosis or some other thing like an injury or a tumor or something. I know when you’ve lived a life like yours it can be easy to assume this is psychological in nature, especially if you have an existing anxiety disorder or something, but if you can’t point to something in your life causing this uptick in attacks and the attacks are behaving oddly, then a medical cause is worth looking into, assuming you have a way to afford it.

Is it just me, or are you getting The Banana Splits Movie vibes, too?

That was a weird movie.

…Just tell me he’s not a brother or friend of Teddy Ruxpin, + I’ll be able to sleep tonight. [Oh no.]
:)

You are living in a country where it would currently be abnormal to not be suffering from anxiety. If I were living in your country I would be numb from drugs and alcohol.
Good luck.

The large machine is likely an oxygen concentrator. Works better than having to use bottles. My Dad had to use one all day every day as his lung fibrosis progressed. They work really well.

I like (Bear Fun’s?), new head design.
It has sort of a, 1980s, Casper the Friendly Ghost-quality, to it.
:D

*audible gasp!*

Was her name Victoria? I think it’s Victoria. I’m too lazy to go hunting for it. Whatever, I love this little goth @$$ drama queen.

Yeah, that’s Victoria, aka Vicky.
