Worst panic attack in ages (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Today I've taken the day off to recuperate from rather bad night. We woke around midnight to feed Dana, the both of us a little bitchier than usual. I fscked up a few things, which in turn led to a rather serious discussion about the near future with Dana. At the time it sounded to me like a lot of je t'accuse, which of course it wasn't.

That combined with a lack of real sleep and stress from work led to the heaviest bout of hyperventilation I've had in ages. It came quickly and heavily, with me almost fainting within minutes. I'm real glad that Marli kept a level head, first taking care of Dana and then of me. She knew I'd be safe for a few minutes while she did the rest. All in all everything took half an hour after which I'd gone completely weak and was shivery with cold. Because it put such a big strain on my body I thought it'd be better to rest up a day before returning to the office
