And according to RSM the sense of dread wasn’t anxiety because when you have an anxiety attack you think you are actually going to die. When, and I only speak for myself here, non specific anxiety, aka a sense of dread is pretty debilitating in itself.

Yes, it was certainly set up from the get go, Wooh - with the energy drink.

Amongst the drama (and my god, she is dramatic) we get the hint that RSD isn’t too far away again. Maybe just a hop and a skip…like 3 hops from the front door to the van in the driveway.

I think the whole episode is building up to a “I need to move but can’t afford to” kinda situation. In fact, I am shocked she didn’t include a backfiring car and the bronx or scary dark skinned men waving scimitars around along with the druggies on the street.

I used to drink Vodka & Red Bull (another energy drink similar to Monster) and after a heavy night out, in the morning I’d wake up the same. Jittery and on edge from the caffeine with a sense of impending doom from the alcohol. Just sayin’.

Also, it’s virtually impossible to get old school lucozade these days. I was really pissed off when they changed the formula because it was the best thing to treat my T1 daughter’s hypos.

Of COURSE she is. Jesus - they will start putting a cubicle to one side for her at this rate. If any of it is true mind. Another week, another complete lack of zine work and disregard for her children’s education, health and well-being. Because she had an energy drink.

Shes probably just got migraine based vertigo from staring at a phone screen all day every fucking day

Which let's face it, given how she does the square root of fuck all with her day can't effect her Tuesday too much

It sounds like the after effect of too much caffeine and whatever else goes in energy drinks has upset her autonomic system. My internet diagnosis is the stress of the energy drink has caused palpitations and depersonalisation-derealisation. It feels odd like you’re outside yourself and you’re not real. I personally think it feels like a painless hangover.

She’s very open to whatever the internet suggests might be wrong with her. Having now several times in the last few weeks set the scene in advance Anyway.. seems it’s not SCAD, nor a heart attack

Wow 3 hours is pretty good to get all that done and go home. I once presented to A&E with SEVERE abdominal pain and was waiting 14 hours for an ultrasound.

Reader, my appendix had burst.

She must have visited one of the quietest A and Es in the country, or else grossly overexaggerated her symptoms in order to be seen ahead of others.

I'm calling BS. This is the woman who can't drive anywhere, or visit an Iceland or Costa without experiencing a crisis. I seriously doubt her trip to A and E happened without multiple people saying the wrong thing, looking at her the wrong way, or generally existing in her vicinity in an offensive (to RSM) manner.

@Shimmering I'm hoping for a one woman campaign against energy drinks, starting 13 January, in the lull period

Some energy drinks (the cheap Happy Shopper ones mostly) give me palpitations, but I've never had any of the other symptoms.

Ah I believe the de-personalisation type thing is related to ME. I’ve had it a few times, usually when there is something stressful happening.

It can be an issue with Autistic Spectrum Disorders as well, iirc, but I think in a different way, and if so I've not had it happen.

I get this with panic attacks sometimes. I wonder if the feeling of being hopped up on energy drinks is similar enough to panic that your brain starts doing the other stuff?

I think there is a panic/overload element to it. I’ve had it out of “nowhere” a bit when I’m getting period cramps as well, so could relate to hormones.

Hard luck anyone still hoping the zine might see the light of day - get ready for Roadside Clothing.

Top recapping as usual guys!!

But enquiring minds (who can't bear to read her unfiltered on Twitter) want to know... what's the latest on RSL - roadside lobster

We are all on tenterhooks awaiting which tale of woe and anger directed and Naughtiest will result in a bit of CashApp action in regard to the lobster feasting. Either that or she just won’t be physically capable of even making an Iceland online order with her magic automatic thumbs and it will necessitate sending Roadside Dad (who DEFINITELY doesn’t live in the van on the drive) to forage for waste lobster on Christmas Eve.
