Work and Total Loss of Everything Real!!!!

So I am at work at the bank yesterday, and I am feeling more than just a little bit strange. When I say strange, I am having some truly upsetting thoughts. It is 3:40pm and I have to work until 6pm.

Oh well, I think to myself, at least I am not feeling psychotic or paranoid at the moment. Then a few customers came in and I helped them with their banking needs. After they left I almost immediately started feeling overstimulated. Feeling like all the silly little stimuli that are coming at you at one specific moment in time are all important and have special meanings. It is kind of like your natural filter of thoughts about what is around you is broken temporarily. Well, it is about 5:45pm now and I am getting worse by the minute. I am completely helpless to the situation as well as there is no medication available to me at that time as well as no place to lie down.

As expected, I made it until 6pm last evening but just barely! Then the drive home. Not such a good time either. Finally, I made it home after calling my mother and my wife to explain to them what was going on. As soon as I walked into the door at home, I sighed a sigh of relief....now, I thought, I can take my medicine and sleep for a while. By 7:30pm, I was sleeping and when I awoke around 9pm, I was feeling much better. Thank goodness for medication, support system and sleep!
