it was always meant to be this way

Back in University I was very much one of the people who used to get deathly ill the second my final exams were over. I could feel myself starting to get sick at the worst possible time and I would just... hold on through sheer force of will until all my deadlines were over and then immediately collapse into a sodden feverish mess.

So it probably shouldn't have come as a huge surprise to me that now that the most dangerous part of Darrell's health crisis is over my brain chemistry has come roaring out of the back of my brain to run me over like a 40-ton truck.

It's completely understandable.

I was like that with my migraines. The second the stressful stuff was over, BANG -- major migraine would hit.

I've been there, so I feel you.

I think my current bout of Death Flu is just random acts of nonsense, but the "time to stand down from high alert... oh noooooo" vulnerability sucks extra hard.

Been there so many times. Hope you're in a position where you can be gentle with yourself. <3

Makes perfect sense to me

I think that's pretty much the natural reaction to 43+ days in the hospital with your loved one.

But also those brain goblins are jerks. Tell them I said so.

xxooo from us.

[kalmn]

It's not surprising at all, but sorry to hear that it's finally hit you.

this happens to me as well. It never fails. as soon as I can get a moment to breathe my body decides that I just need to fall over

I hope you feel better soon
