I just want to write this out somewhere so I'm less tempted to try to ignore it. This isn't a question or anything... It just is as it is.
I've been getting chest pain when I wake up during the week, which I'm assuming is anxiety-based (I last experienced it to this level a few years ago when I hadn't identified anxiety as a problem for me). I think it's a combination of waking up to my alarm (relatively soft static, but makes a loud click when it starts up), it being dark when I have to get up, barely getting 8 hours sleep, going to bed before digesting dinner properly, and knowing that the day will be spent at my internship. I end up unintentionally sort of holding my breath and clenching my jaw, so I take deep, slow breaths and the pain goes away for awhile until I forget to focus on relaxing, fading over about half an hour.
The minute-button had stopped working on my alarm clock, so I hadn't been able to set it properly and had to settle for 20 mins earlier than I wanted to get up. When it was set properly a few weeks ago, I was waking up a few minutes before it clicked and didn't feel as bad as I have been last/this week. I just tried the minute-button now (while writing this and trying to figure out something to do about it) and it worked, so I've put it at 5:15.
'Tis now time for a quick shower and bed so I can see how the alarm works out tomorrow.
