After staying up until 7am, (because I'm scared of sleeping at night when no urgent cares are open), I suddenly smelled burnt toast. I only live with my mom, who was asleep. You know the phrase: "You smell toast before having a stroke." so naturally, I began to panic. I go over the "stroke" tests, testing my coordination, symptoms, and am completely fine, but I convinced myself I'm going to have a stroke.

My mom woke up a few minutes later. I told her my concerns, she sniffed the air, and said- "Ah, I smell it too. Kinda burnt toast. That's just the neighbors downstairs. I smell their breakfast a lot."

Then I was able to breathe and relax for a bit, ready to try to go to sleep- until I got a random abdominal cramp then obsessed over that for the next hour. My first therapy is on Monday and I'm so nervous but so ready to fix my life.
