Was rushed to A&E a few years ago with a suspected heart attack in the early days of it. Amazing how powerful your mind is at convincing you you're about to go out with a bang.
Although I did leave there that time with a sense of shame for wasting their time, it immediately got easier to deal with when I knew it was 'only' anxiety.
They mostly happened at night when trying to go to sleep, bangs in the chest, weird stuff. Absolutely terrifying at first. Even after discovering it was anxiety it was still quite scary. Your mind can really fuck with you. You'll think some nights 'maybe it was anxiety before, but this time it's the real thing, fuck, fuck'
Or, you'll get used to the pattern of physical symptoms so your brain mixes it up a bit with something new to keep you on your toes.
I still get them at night going to sleep but have no fear around it now. I've had to figure out an optimal sleeping position that minimises them. Can only fall asleep lying on my right with my arm stretched out. Any other position and I'm kept awake with breath gasps and chest bangs.
The other day the worry about my breathing, coupled with googling serious Covid symptoms sent me into a spiral.
I know xanax is a solution, especially for the sleep thing, but I've taken it a couple of times and it affects me too bad on the other side. Too groggy trying to get up.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

I'd be tempted not to look at any of these metrics so much as things like '% of Garda stations open', '# of buses running', '# of schools closed etc' as it may well be indirect non-health metrics that are the big thing for the next 4-6 weeks"We are not Europeans.

Side note; I've long thought that overexposure to teenagers is the reason for ASTI's general grumpiness. The INTO, who are exposed to children in a more human stage of evolution, seem by comparison to be a more reasonable lot. Same way that cops get corrupted by daily exposure to criminals.
Second child becomes a teenager tomorrow which may or may not be connected.
The sacrifices to the teacher gods have paid off."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Outside Keoghs last week having a pint and an homeless aul lad came over. He looked in rag order, not your usual druggie type so gave him a few bob and a handful of smokes.
Poor lad could barely talk but insisted on telling me a joke as a thank you.

To be fair you have duel citizenship. Your citizenship doesn't expire with your passport.
Just say yes to both and say it is UK. If it was North Korea or Iran I might consider leaving it out. They are on good terms with UK so won't be an issue. Loads of Irish in the same boat.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Are you now a citizen or national of any other country? Hit yes it asks which country?? And then how did I aquire it. But surely it can't be Ireland as I've already gone past the part where I said that etc
I'm thinking say no to that question. And
Then the second part say yes UK from my date of birth to when passport expired. Like surely be OK with that?Her sky-ness

All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

I was in a Spar this evening and a guy skids off his electric scooter, bursts into the shop, and asks in a panic - do you have any cans that haven't risen in price? The owner, obviously keen to strike up fruitful new customers, said he hadn't yet got around to raising the prices, so go at it. The guy grabs about 30 cans breathing a temporary sigh of relief. I was speaking to him at the till and he said it was the first he heard of the price rises when he went into a shop earlier today and all the cans of Linden Village were a fortune. He looked like someone who was deeply into his cans on a permanent basis, so he's going to have a shitty new year. Poor guy.
I'd imagine this is going to have a fairly major impact on people like him. I just wish the campaign hadn't been so obviously hijacked by alcohol lobbyists and the middle classes pretending to care about poor people, but instead simply not wanting to pay more themselves. It distracted from some real issues that are going to arise. Like, what types of supports are in place for people essentially halving their consumption in a short amount of time. Its probably not medically dangerous, compared to say going cold turkey, but it is a meaningful impact."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Just tell the truth, you are a dual citizen. It’s perfectly legal. I put down both of mine when I did it, partner put down 3 citizenships.
Edit: glad you got it. Make sure you use the right accent at the border.Last edited by Mellor; 05-01-22, 00:17.
