Yesterday a small dog snuck up and bit me. F’ng hurt. I was shocked in a bad way. I almost fainted I freaked out so badly. I was terrified.

It is not a serious wound and I did my best with it and contacted authorities.

I feel mentally like shit, today. I slept reasonably okay and for long enough. I feel unwell in my brain like depressed, feel like crying, don’t want to go outside (dog got me when I was walking and minding my own business.) like everything is TOO MUCH. I can’t deal with anything!

Also, there is some other really bad stress before this occurred. I feel like I’m cracking under the pressure and I’m used to bad shit you know?

Blah blah I know lots of people have it MUCH worse.

Can’t tell if it’s PTSD symptoms or GAD. Meh, who cares? I hate myself for overreacting. It’s mortifying.

That’s the price you pay for not killing the dog. All of the FIGHT/FLIGHT guts you later. Is it worth the price of letting the dog live, a day or three of aftershocks to your system, mortified? If so, you’re on the side of the angels. If Not? Next time, kill the dog that attacks you.
 
That dog is never getting at me again. I’ve made certain I have my pepper gel to hand and I’ll kick it if it tries to bite me. Also, cops will be called yet again.
 
It might also be a good idea to get rabies shot booster to be on the safe side
The cops told me I didn’t need to worry about rabies :/ also I’ve heard rabies shots are horrible. The dog was not exhibiting signs of rabies, either. Please pray for me that I don’t get rabies!

comparing myself to other people only distracts me from sorting my own, strictly personal psycho snot knots. what does sorting the tangle of wires under my work station have to do with the tangle of chords under YOUR computer? they both function on the same principles, but i won't get far plugging my in/outputs into your jacks.

coffee cup clink to the irrelevance of WHICH dx off my psycho smorgasbord is causing the current mortification. the hate is the symptom i would focus my psychotherapy tools on. hate is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person (or dog) to die.
