THE LOSS OF RATIONALITY

So the last couple days have resulted in making me think that I'm losing my mind. And I'm serious in this, I really think I'm losing touch with reality. It wasn't so bad before, but then there was the near accident on Saturday which really really freaked me out, and it's all progressed from there. Wasn't feeling so well yesterday which would've been ok except then I really lost it. Had the sensation last night that someone was choking me. It seriously felt like someone had their hands around my throat. But if that wasn't bad enough, I got the shock of my life when I ended up seeing something that wasn't even there! And I'm rational, I don't see things that aren't there! I might think that something is there when it isn't, but I do not see things that I know can not possibly be there, and yet they are! It just doesn't happen! Losing my grip with reality is what I think is happening. Probably doesn't help that I'm suffering from some as-yet-undefined illness (probably the flu - at least I hope that's all it is!) and the ever present fatigue. But yeah, I lost it. Broke down crying and that doesn't happen very often. Needless to say, work didn't go very well today. I'm jumping at shadows and it's not much fun. I think the solution is a day off and I'm very nearly going to get that. I'm going to take a mental health day, well most of one anyways! Being stubborn, I can't let myself take the entire thing off, but I will take most of it. And all I'm going to do is sleep. Sounds like a perfect way to recover from a bad few days.
