When I fainted in 2011 I cracked my head open and needed 12 staples to put me back together again. I feel I have been learning about stress for decades and once you think you know something about it, you learn how much deeper into our psyches it burrows and causes hard. I'm sorry you went through this and am thrilled your family was there with you. You're a real trooper coming up with a solution to still keep 95% of that day's rosters and responsibilities afloat, but unfortunately, you paid the price. I've learned that some self care is more work and responsibility than it really is stress reduction. I've tried to balance what I really need and not what the world thinks I need. I was worrying about you last week during the rains.
That must have been extremely scary for your husband and daughter to watch you faint before their eyes. Glad you are ok and taking steps to self-care, Laverne.
