After Action Report

I sit quietly in my chair, breathing in and out in an attempt to calm myself after the argument.  I focus on the rhythmic whooshing in my ears and veins and the trembling of my arm muscles.  I realize I'm gripping the arms of the chair and move to relax my hands, breathing in while I stretch the fingers out.  The fuzzy feeling in my head must be a post-adrenaline chemical reaction, the down after such an intense up.  Drained, I stay where I am.

  1. This is great sensory description of an obviously crappy experience. Sorry that happened to you.
