n* from a head cold(?)
i feel like absolute garbage. i just wanted to reach out for support.
i contracted a head cold from my dad last friday. it was a normal cold, an honestly seemed to be getting better as the weekend progressed. last night, though, i got extremely n*. the leftover sushi and the edible i ate probably contributed, but i don’t think i have proper food poisoning since i have not v* or had d*, or anything similar. like literally no symptoms other than the n*.
it’s a weird kind of n* that i can tell is not due to a sv*. i don’t know if any of you know what i’m talking about when i say that, but i can tell. it’s almost like a dizzy feeling. regardless of what’s causing it, it’s bugging me a lot. i can’t sleep. it’s mostly in my throat and is making me panic everytime i close my eyes and try to sleep.
i have work at 8 am. i slept maybe 4 hours tops last night because of this and it’s making me feel horrible, i am so tired and unwell. i have been crying because i just feel tired. i’m extremely paranoid not sleeping will weaken my immune system and make me worse, which makes me panic more, and prevents sleep more.
i don’t know what to do. or how to cope. i’m just tired. any words of wisdom or advice on how to calm down?
