Its all over now

Got my shot. Had a small anxiety attack afterwards. If I'm still here Monday will call work & let them know the b --ch is back!

But for now I'm gonna take a nap so my brain can manufacture more serotonin. That only happens when you're asleep. Could be why people with anxiety & depression sleep so much. Body doing its best to help. So let those sleeping dogs lie. They're not lazy. They're in recovery.

That is the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Cue Queen's We Are the Champions.

I think that's what they tell you to do, get some extra rest.

I hope everything goes well. Pamper yourself for a while now.

Good for you. I sat on the fence for quite a while, then finally bared my arm 12 days ago, got the J & J shot. I did not freak myself out in anyway, even though I am prone to anapylatic shock. Told I may have burning arm, headache, flu symptoms, kept me for 1/2 hour, then sent me home. I went home in peace and relaxed mood. Did get a little tired but nothing else. Have carried on in happyness, and glad to know I am in secure position against Covid 19, not sure about B.1.1.7?!!! So good people out there, go and get yourself a shot, for your sake and any you may infect, we have to get ahead of this nasty virus......

I also have allergies to most vaccines. I was worried. But the people there were very nice & had a doctor come over for a masked face to masked face Q&A. There was no way I was going to refuse the shot but it did make it a tiny bit better to talk to the doctor.

That's how it seems to work, isn't it? Another fear becomes bigger than the original fear. Better yet, a love becomes greater than the fear.

I could not sleep the night before the vaccine due to fear of side effects. Got dose two yesterday. Another night without sleep.

It will be ok. Even the side effects are only temporary. I got no side effects almost 48 hrs in.
