My heart

When I am by myself and it's quiet around, I can hear my heartbeat. I can feel it in my throat and sometimes think that I'm one of those cartoon characters that is just about to choke and spit it out. It makes talking hard. It makes writing papers even harder.

Chances are, it's an anxiety disorder, also called a panic attack. This sounds strange, since you're probably not panicking about anything, but your body is producing a cocktail of hormones that makes your heart feel like it's going thumpity-thump when it's really just performing normally. Go see a doctor, because you don't want to mess around with your vital organs. Drugs are not necessary, unless it's interfering with your life. Regular exercise, balanced diet, relaxation, and refraining from caffeine and alcohol will help you to feel normal. I suffer from this, too, but I can't give up the caffeine and alcohol. The icon of Sveta Petya always speaks to me. Maybe she'll speak to you, too, since you carry her name.

Anxiety: check. Panic: check. Can't give up caffeine or alcohol. Don't exercise either. I guess I'll just need to chill. Thanks for your note, whoever you are. :)

Petya -

Been there, done that: get yourself to a doctor. It doesn't get better by ignoring it, and if you are stressed by it now, it gets worse. I was sort of in the same situation as you once: doing my graduate degree in a strange country in a foreign language, and had some problems dealing with it (and I didn't have the internet to help, let alone a telephone at the time!).

My doctor gave me valium, which helped enormously. I'm not sure if I would have been able to finish the degree otherwise.

And get into exercise, it really does help. Penn State is fantastic countryside for bicycling and you need to have an outlet for your frustrations.

Your body is telling you that you need to pay attention to what is going on with you: don't ignore it.

Best regards, I've been a long-time lurker because I've got three Bulgarian students working for me (well, only two now, one has made the transition to a nice job) and it's interesting getting your perspective as a Bulgarian in the US.

And you're cute, which always helps. :-)

Well, it looked right on my screen. . . . What I said was [written in Cyrillic] "Chestita Baba Marta, Petya!"
