The agoraphobics day out...

-
Slept like crap last night, i think i might have had 2 1/2 hours, at the most... So when my boyfriend called me at 8.20 this morning, i was less than receptive to his idea (that we'd already spoken out earlier in the week), to go out for the day.  However, it was going to be a gorgeous day, probably hitting the late 20's, so i got my arse out of bed and got ready.

I knew we were heading toward a place called Clare in Suffolk to a big country park, that was our first stop.  We walked right to the top of a mount where there are remains of a castle.  I was exhausted.  After that we drove to Dedham (which was really hard to find, NOT signposted at all).  It was beautiful, definitely worth the drive... We went on a little rowing boat,  I can't even remember the last time i got on a boat.  Not going to lie, i was a teensy bit anxious, but nothing that'd make me panic.  Coming home was a treat... Traffic jams on the A12.... I love a traffic jam when it's about 90 degrees fahrenheit outside.

So yeah, the agoraphobic 'nut-job' did about 90 miles today... No panic/No anxiety.... Good day?   I think so.

Here are some pictures of Clare Country Castle Park and Dedham....

...and for your viewing pleasure....

I wasn't really thinking about the enormity of it... Today though, i am feeling it. Mentally exhausted.

I cannot say how completely jealous I am! Beautiful scenery, fabulous weather, a walk to a hill fort and a trip out on the river. Miss Sarah, I have gone green with envy. Well done you! So proud of your amazing achievement XXX

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug
