@villager Thanks. I don't think I'm at the crisis helpline point yet, But I'm certainly making note of it. It's now on my phone. Funny how easy it is to suggest it for someone needing help, because we know it's the right thing, the best resource. Yet, when it's our turn, we are not as inclined to use it. We don't want to bother anyone, or we think it is not as bad as someone else's situation. Something to think about.
My dearest Dee, right away I felt Angel of "right light" (never heard of that before and I have heard of some odd Angel names) was helping you. The color purple is important regarding this healing and I pray you embrace this while we all send you our light and LOVE. ? ? ?
@bright-opal, thank you.

This is so true. All in good time. It recently took me 6 months to call a (different type of) helpline because I felt exactly the way you describe above.
I am so glad you will be at tomorrow's meditation. You experienced something so traumatic yet my guides and angels tell me your spirit was there for them in spirit! You are a healing soul. ? ? ? ?
@deetoo Of course. Prayers coming your way that you’ll have a restful sleep. If I can share a breathing exercise for calming taught to me by an acupuncture master (4th in the lineage) - Breathe in & keep inhaling as you count to 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat this several times until you feel yourself calming down; you might even fall asleep. If you prefer not to get too stirred up with the counting, inhale for 4 and exhale for 6. Effectively, the exhale is longer so as to get out the toxins and any negativity. I hope this helps.
Oh sweet soul, hang in there!
I'm relieved to hear the EMTs offered you a choice, and I believe you chose correctly. I don't agree that Benadryl in liquid caps is caustic, and I don't think EMTs are allowed to diagnose anything, so for them to say "hypertensive headache" makes no sense unless your blood pressure was high - like over 140/100 high. You may have staved off anaphylaxis with your quick Benadryl action. I keep children's liquid version in the house for just such eventualities.
Tomorrow, call your primary care physician. Most are doing telemedicine these days, or at least phone calls. They may want to prescribe you an Epi-Pen in case it happens again (I have 3 - purse, car, home). Consider ordering one of those little wrist BP monitors off Amazon too.
If you have any CBD oil, take that. I find that Benadryl makes me both drowsy and anxious. Know that it wears off in a few hours. Also maybe a cup of chamomile tea - very calming and safe. Also try either the Solfeggio or Binaural music a few of us have referred to in this and other threads. Put some lavender oil or sprigs on your pillow. Watch a mindless TV show or old movie, or go read a book.
And most important - get away from all devices ;-)
Let us know tomorrow how you're doing. I'll send you some healing tonight as I drift off - maybe it will be catching.
Your community here loves you very much.
I am wrapping you in a big soft blanket of love right now. May you have a beautiful restful sleep and wake up refreshed and peaceful.
@deetoo Thank God you are okay. Those EMT's are angels. And since you are an angel, you have a lot of protection. Take care, sweet friend. Sending love and protection to sit with you all night long.
All of my beautiful friends, I am so sorry for the things you are having to deal with. It is a tense and scary time.
Something is off today for many of us it seems. I spent a few hours crying tonight over my daughter, my ex and my many years of illness. When I start to go into the past , I find a lot of grief and regret there.
I do better when I stay in the moment but sometimes I just stilll need to grieve and process.
I think that I have work to do in self acceptance and love. I think that I am grateful for my man who llstens ansd cares about everytying i share with him. We make each other stromger.
Happiness is a choice and I planm tochoose happiness tomorrow and let these fears and angry bits go.
Prayers for all of you. What a rough time we are all having. I feel for you all and am sending you love and strength to get through these trying times.
