STRESS eh ??????
I can well Imagine
THAT__starting with the realization that you had got STUCK
in The QuickSand__and that YOU had become that Lone TALL PINE Tree in
the forest__etc.
Here is a good analogy__and True Story.
There was a HUGE Issue with Polio in the early/mid 1950s__and for a couple of years
before the oral sugar cube vaccine was implemented__ALL Students HAD to get a SHOT.
So there we were__just a few days after Grade One started fall of 1954__on a beautiful
Sunny day__the Whole schook had to make Two LONG lineups__and move forward
STEP by STEP__Closer and Closer to the END of the Lines__where the nurses in nice white uniforms with cap and all were giving the Polio Shots.
Due to the Long Lines__We ALL had LOTS of time to SEE and HEAR all of the Crying and Sometimes Screaming at the End of the lines__seemed to take forever to get there__and with our young, sharp eyes we could see How HUGE the Needle looked!
That WAS one of the Most STRESSFUL Events in My LIFE__and is somewhat similar
to what Your Situation IS eh LEO__as You move Closer and Closer to the END of the LINE
