im probably being a bit silly here, but just wondered if anyone had any advice or if this was even normal or not or if I should just toughen up
I was very unwell this week and had to go to hospital in an ambulance. I knew I was unwell but when they put on the lights and sirens and basically flew through the traffic that’s when I realised how unwell I actually was and at the time I was trying not to cry because I was so frightened.
sounds a bit daft but I feel a bit emotional and freaked out by it all (freaked out isn’t the right word but I have no idea how else to describe it), just because anytime I see an ambulance with lights and sirens I always think oh goodness someone is very unwell that’s so sad etc, but then suddenly that was me in the back of it and it was just all so scary
the only other time I was in an ambulance was years ago after a bad fall from a height but I was ok and didn’t need blue lights and sirens etc whereas this time felt so much scarier
i guess it’s probably just the shock of it all as I was unwell very suddenly but yeah, just wondered if this is a normal reaction or not to still feel a bit emotional and freaked out by it? Thankfully I’m doing better now but still just feel a bit emotional about it all!
(and goes without saying how incredibly grateful I am to the paramedics who helped me!)
