Let's Talk
Oh Father I can't, I can't get through. I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do.
Man life is pretty messed up eh? I have been having some psycho issues with stress lately. I've been through tougher times in my life then now - for sure - but for some reason there was this massive stress build up that was attacking me on an almost daily basis. When I think about it - things shouldn't be THAT stressful for me right now, but for some reason my body has hit the panic button on a number of occassions due to stress.
The other night I thought I was going to literally fall to pieces and I'm not even sure what brought it on. I just finished playing a game of poker and I was going to bed and a huge wave of panic hit me. I really wish I could explain the feeling and I'm sure someone out there has experienced something similar, but the best way to describe it would be just sheer panic. The only thing I could think of other than screaming my lungs off was looking at old pictures I had in my room and just trying to rewind to an earlier point in my life.
It's weird because I'm pretty happy right now, I'm healthier than I've been in a long time because I've been exercising at the GYM and running 5-6 times a week, and I have been doing pretty darn well in school too. I just came off a pretty severe bought of insomnia over the strike break, but since then I've been sleeping like a baby mostly and I've been getting along with Danielle fine too.
The whole situation doesn't seem to add up but I imagine there's a good reason for it all...I guess lately I just haven't given my self a chance to just stop and think about what the heck I am doing lately or even reflect on how far I've come. All I know is stress is a pretty scary thing when you dont' deal with it. It doesnt' matter how healthy/happy/or anything you are, it can still creep up on you and smash you upside the head if you let it.
I can't help but feel that if I hadn't started exercising recently my body might of not handled the stress as well. Here's to exercise and good health.
Amen
