I Didn't Give Up Despite The Circumstances I Was In...

I was going through so much anxiety starting Sunday night for my interview. I had stomach cramps that night. Then on Monday morning I was starting to get few pimples.

That wasn't just enough that my body, I had rash starting to flare up my entire body after 10:30pm last night. I thought it was stress acne and slept around 2am last night preparing for my interview. I thought sleeping will get rid of those large red spots on my face. At 4:30 am, I was tossing and turning, my face was itchy but i avoided scratching it and thought of looking at it in the mirror around 5am. My entire forehead had so many small dots of rash, that wasn't enough that it was starting go down my throat, neck my limbs and slowly to my back and chest.

I didn't know what the hell was wrong with me, at a point I felt that I was going to die and around 6:30am I noticed my left lymph node on my neck was swollen as well. I thought I might be getting chickenpox since I never had chickenpox my entire life. While I was in the bed my body temperture was going up and down even with the fan on. My rash was red and stinging. It was horrifying to see all this and only having slept 2 hrs at night due to the discomfort of all this happening to my body. That was just not enough yet because I had interview happening at midday and I didn't know what was happening to my body.

I was in pain and decided to see the doctors at the first thing in the morning. He at first thought it was chicken pox but he said it wasn't totally chicken pox either. After seeing my swollen lymph node he said it is likely to be some sort of viral infection so he prescribed me medication and told me to rest. I told him that I cannot miss my interview and needed a medical note from him to show at the interview.

I took the medical note to the interview stating that I have been given a treatment for the rash that built up overnight on my body and I was safe for the meeting. Thankfully, the ladies at the interview was very considerate and they also offered me to take the day off and come for a different interview but I told them that I didn't want to give such a short notice and being there at the interview on time was more important to me than anything else in the world right now. They were very pleased to hear this from me. The interview was quite interesting and I enjoyed their company and so did they.

I have been complaining this entire week about few zits on my face but now my face including lips have this weird rash on it. I totally believe that it is natures way of telling me that things could be worse and I need to be thankful for what I have. I am now realizing the worth of my looks and how normal I look. I wish I hadn't been that self-hateful so I wouldn't be suffering right now.

I'm thankful that I still made it to the interview despite all this happening to my body. Oh, one last note, I am now taking 10 pills a day instead of 7. All thanks to this rash. I do really need to calm down and accept myself than being my own enemy. There is no one perfect in this world and I need to accept this.

Oh well, time to grow up.
