Hi everyone ^_^
Yesterday was quite a big day for me, unintentionally, and I managed to be much more assertive than I usually am, overcoming my anxiety. I had an event early morning at school where I had to talk to heaps of teachers - some who I don't know, some who I don't like - about my major work, and I was super nervous but managed it ok. Then, I confronted my (horrible!) maths teacher politely about how she's putting stress on everyone, and resolved that. Then, I was more vocal in another class than I usually am. And at the end of the day, I confronted a bus driver on his use of racist language + using the word "retard".
So, these might sound like small things, but it was quite a big deal for me.
But today, I woke up with an awful headache, really pale, feeling exhausted and very jumpy + quite depressed. I'm taking the day of school because of it...
Is it coincidence, or is it normal to feel this way after facing your fears a lot in one day? Anyone else get like this??
