I’m unwell

Okay, so like, when I first said 'I'm unwell,' my body was genuinely reacting in ways I didn't expect, but it wasn't a cold or the flu! It was pure, unadulterated shock and joy. Have you ever been so excited or surprised that you actually feel a bit nauseous, your heart races, and you get all shaky? That's exactly how I was feeling unwell after seeing that notification pop up on my TikTok. It literally said, 'Kristin Chenoweth liked your video.' My brain just couldn't compute. For a solid five minutes, I was just staring at my phone, thinking, 'Is this real life?!' My body went into full-on panic mode – happy panic, but still panic! I felt lightheaded, my stomach did a complete flip, and yeah, I was ready to start throwing up from the sheer intensity of the emotion. It's wild how our bodies react to extreme feelings, whether they're good or bad. I truly felt like I had peaked in life at that moment. It’s funny because when someone searches for 'my body is not feeling well' or 'feeling unwell,' they're usually looking for advice on physical sickness. But sometimes, these phrases perfectly capture that overwhelming sense of emotional reaction. It's like your system is just overloaded with too much awesomeness! I mean, it's Kristin Chenoweth, the queen herself! To have someone you admire so much acknowledge something you created, even a small TikTok video, it's just mind-blowing. It makes you feel seen, appreciated, and totally validated. So, if you're ever feeling unwell from an unexpected surge of excitement, here's what I learned: first, breathe! Seriously, take a few deep breaths to ground yourself. Second, share the joy! Tell your friends, post about it (hello, Lemon8!), because sharing that excitement somehow makes it feel more real and manageable. Third, let yourself revel in it. Don't dismiss the feeling just because it's 'just a like' or 'just a comment.' These moments mean something to us, and it's okay to be absolutely obsessed and overwhelmed by them. Of course, it’s important to know the difference between being 'unwell' from excitement versus actually being sick. If your symptoms persist or feel genuinely concerning, always check in with a doctor. But for me, this 'unwell' feeling was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of high. It’s a memory I’ll cherish, and it just goes to show you never know what amazing things can happen when you put yourself out there. My TikTok just got a whole lot more magical, and I'm still buzzing from it!
