Symptoms?

First off, my eyes burn. Even when closed they feel like shampoo crept in the through the sides. My throat feels like I’ve been drinking gravel and lighter fluid for days on end. My head is light, floating above it all. My heart is heavy. Except that it’s being periodically hit with dabs of adrenaline spurring flutters or palpitations that almost make me want to vomit. My water cooler rumbles. I have the sudden urge to place my face under it, depress the button, and let ice-cold water run down my face and all over the floor until the entire contents run empty. That would be a bitch to mop up.
