I've been on antihistamines for a couple months and recovering from a few months of major allergic rashes and hives, which also torched my mental health, making me so exhausted I had to go on new meds. I've been back and forth between meds since. The exhaustion has come back this past couple weeks, even though I've been going to bed on time and taking my night meds that used to guarantee I'd be conked out for the night. Now, they haven't been doing much and I've been having insomnia but on the verge of falling asleep all day. My work starts at 8 a.m. and I have to be there then because I'm the front desk person.
Sometimes I have to nap in my car in my workplace parking lot during my half hour lunch to regain enough energy to keep working. That was the case today, but I woke up to a police officer opening my car door. There were 2 ambulances and like 8+ police/first responders that pulled up. Apparently someone had been "worried about me" but hadn't decided to knock on my window or speak to me before calling the police. (I work downtown near where a lot of homeless people gather and we get a lot of overdoses here).
Our Fiscal department can see all activity in the parking lot from their windows upstairs. I also came in to a frienzied member of the HR team asking where the Narcan was because they were worried they'd have to use it after they saw all the ambulances pull up.
tl;dr I napped in my car during my lunch break from work - a bunch of ambulances and first responders pulled up and people thought I was dying.
