I have just had a huge shock and feel really tired - normal?

It’s normal to feel a bit tired after a that excitement. You just had a huge adreneline rush and a major amount of stress go grab your pillow and get some zzzz’s. First put your daughter to bed though! :-)

Totally, totally. You get this huge adrenaline rush (especially when you are frightened for your child). Afterward, you are left with a chemical hangover.

Be kind to yourself. Chamomile? A hot bath. (The latter can actually allow your body to release some of the toxins.)

I am so glad she is OK.

I was gonna say Adrenaline, but you both got to it first. GA’s all round.

@cage When’s the actual bday?

BTW, jellyfish, welcome to the collective.

@Marina monday.

@Marina unrelated though no… cheeky :P

Well I’m sending good vibes to you and your daughter…
It is a shock when your kids give you scares, and it sure does make the old heart pump faster..
I wish you well…
Oh and vinegar and brown paper…

Glad your daughter is unhurt! Is your hand all right?
Hello! Welcome!

Edit

Quoted the wrong neurotransmitter

But yes, it’s perfectly normal to feel tired. You’re body is trying to level out the Adrenaline and Norepinephrine released during the event. Sleep helps the neurotransmitter reuptake, thus your body wants to sleep to get the transmitters out of the synaptic clefts back to where they are stored.
