Oh yes. I handled it much better the first night. I guess there just comes a point when my body has had enough, and I can't gut it out any more.
I don't feel faint necessarily, but yes, my head does feel like I'm about to explode. And I actually turn fuschia, or maybe maraschino cherry, on some occasions. I suspect my blood pressure must be skyrocketing. I wish I had a photo. On one occasion, my husband was afraid I'd have a stroke. And even in my distress I had to recognize how comical I looked.
All the while I'm dissociating to the extent that I can act outwardly with at least some semblance of normality. I wouldn't say my distress is unnoticeable, but I don't know if it's recognizable as anxiety, even by me.
Is that how it is for you?
