I should have known it was too good to be true. Went to bed feeling clear headed and virtuous, ready for a good night’s sleep and looking forward to bounding out of bed this morning feeling like superwoman.
No such luck. Around 2am I woke up and it felt like every nerve in my body had electricity coursing through it. I know, technically, they do, but I could (can) FEEL it. I don’t know how else to describe it but it’s horrible. I can’t get comfortable, and I can’t focus on anything else apart from how horrible I feel, all over.
I’ve had this before - at one point to the extent where I was sent for MRI scans - but generally it seems to be correlated with extreme tiredness. I don’t think I’m actually tired as I’ve slept so well all week and of course I’m not waking up hungover, or staying up till midnight drinking. But maybe this is my body’s way of expressing post-booze exhaustion and starting to fix itself.
Whatever it is, I hope it stops soon. I got back to sleep by taking a ZzzQuil (why we can’t buy those magic pills in the UK I don’t know!) but this morning I’m still sort of stoned from it AND the fizzing in my nerves is back. I’m absolutely good for nothing, even dropped the dog food quite spectacularly.
At least it’s Sunday. There are things I need to do, and I will have to make my excuses for an event I am meant to be at this evening, but I don’t HAVE to be anywhere and I can do things at my own pace. This is going to be my first real ‘one day at a time’ test.
I can do this.
