Day 5- Home

Today sucked.

 

So, since the week before my sister died, I have been having an acute stress response. What that means for me is that my preexisting stomach issues are a million times worse whenever my stress levels go up. This can be heartburn, nausea, lack of appetite, stuff like that. When Casey died, I lost 10 pounds before I realized I was averaging about 1000 calories a day and figured out some high calorie and high protein shakes to make for meals.

 

This morning, I took my medication with a sip of water, and within 10 minutes had heartburn so bad my body thought I was throwing up. My mouth was watering like it does before you puke. Pretty sure taking the maximum dose of a proton pump inhibitor isn't supposed to make your heartburn worse.

 

And so today, I didn't get any caffeine (or real food) and I'm grumpy and tired.

 

Made Explore. lol.
