Hi Guys and Gals!
I recently got a call from a prospective employer asking me to come in for a job interview. I really need a new job, so I was very excited about the possibility of career advancement but nervous about the interview process. The employer wanted me to come in the very next day, and as soon as I hung up the phone with them I got this crazy, nervous, heart-pounding adrenaline rush that lasted all day and all night, even lasting into the interview the next afternoon. I'm usually a very good, deep sleeper, rarely waking during the night. I got to bed at a reasonable hour that night, but I could feel the adrenaline pumping — my mind couldn't turn off, my heart was beating very hard and fast, and I didn't get a wink of sleep. It was extremely stressful. I took some oj and with salt and sugar in the middle of the night to no avail. Needless to say, I was a complete zombie during the interview. Although, I don't think I did too bad (I'm a designer and they actually liked my work). But a good, restful night's sleep would've helped for sure. I've never had this happen before. I felt crazy!
I feel like my adrenals are just messed up. I get really nervous lately for no good reason. I'm not my good, ol' confident self. I think I'm going to quit coffee for a bit because it might be exacerbating my symptoms. Might it be true that a fruit/sugar-centric diet tends to elevate adrenaline, as Paul Jaminet has stated before? I notice if I have too much oj with dinner, I don't fall asleep as easily.
Any advice on repairing adrenals and dampening an adrenaline response to stress for good?
Or, as a quick fix, something that will knock me out at night so I can at least function the next day? (I have a feeling they're going to call me back for a second interview, and I need to make sure I'm feeling normal.) Should I just stuff myself with potatoes, butter, milk and salt before I go to sleep next time? Make sure I'm getting enough salt during the day? Could this also be a serotonin issue? I know Peat is against Tylenol, would a few Tylenol PMs with a large dinner be safe?
I've also heard Peat mention a small nibble of T3 at bedtime helps sleep, but if I take too much T3 it makes me quite irritable, so I've never tried taking pure Cynomel at bedtime. I do frequently take Cynoplus during the day, however.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
