I often get these “waves” where my energy just suddenly collapses, my ears start ringing, I get dizzy, my mood darkens, and aches & shakes take over my whole body.
I liken it to a cartoon where a character steps on a puddle expecting solid ground underneath but it’s actually a lake and they fall in over their head.
Sometimes these waves last a few minutes, sometimes a few hours. It’s not fun, but I’m grateful to have a job that allows me to put my health first in these moments, for a wife & dogs who know when I’m not at my best & care for me, & for people who check in. Oh and for cold brew.
Protect your community, protect your loved ones, protect yourself. Get vaccinated. Talk to someone if you’re struggling. Take care.
