No idea why. I'm studying for the California bar exam - that's probably part of it. Just stress. But it came out of nowhere and hit like a ton of bricks. I'm actually still off balance because of it.
I was at the barn, riding one of my horses when it started. He's getting over an injury so I'm slowly bringing him back and it was kind of late so I was riding in the dark.
I don't know if any of you ride but riding in the dark is kind of surreal anyway. He's fine - he can see - and he just trucks right along. But it's kind of like what they say about flying on instruments - you can't really see the ground well so there's a sort of odd quality to it of motion without frame of reference. I generally love it and I've never had it trigger an anxiety attack. But last night, about halfway through the ride, I thought I was going to fall off I was so dizzy and my ears were buzzing so bad.
Had to take a Klonopin and it took me until about 2 this morning to really get to sleep. And I took another this morning. Irritating. I haven't had one like this in a long time. I take Cymbalta daily and I missed my pill yesterday morning - didn't take it until 3 in the afternoon. I wondered if that had anything to do with it but I've done that before too (don't you love having to take a bunch of pills because you're spacey but you're so spacey that you can't remember to take your pills?).
Anyway, it sucked. And I need to get back to bar prep.
