So last night I was laying on my floor on my side but somewhat upright drawing for a good 10 minutes. I decided to grab another piece of paper and when I got back into the position that I was in before I got the paper I felt this prick/sting on my left side a little ways above my kidney. Out of no where this intense burning sensation just came about and I started freaking out because I had no idea what had happened and apparently the scorpion had pinched me using both of his pinchers and then stung me.

I've never experienced that much pain before in my life up to last night! Also that was the very first time I've been stung by one of them and being stung by anything period so I had no idea what I was going up against right after it happened. Symptoms occurred such as burning and tingling in the area that was stung, shortness of breath, increased anxiety, muscle spasms in the area that was stung and else where on the body and blurred vision. One of the symptoms out of the many listed above that was the better of them all was that after you get stung some limbs or certain areas of the body will go numb. My face, mouth, hands and feet were numb 20 minutes after the sting and up until a few hours ago.

I'm glad that I'm not allergic to the venom and if I ever get stung again I know I'll be alright but I'd much rather not have to experience that ever again in my life time.

Though this still has left me an issue.. I have had a fear of certain living things that roam our planet such as scorpions, spiders, venomous snakes etc.. basically anything that can harm you and cause pain. Every time now that I'm in my room or just mostly in my house I have a fear of anything that can happen to me such as last night and over all anything can set me off such as a shadow . I live in Arizona so these scorpions are and will be pretty common. My normal anxiety has increased since last nights episode and I'm very twitchy and worried that I will be striked again by another or something worse.

I have no idea what to do about this personal but not so personal issue? I'm literally terrified and have absolutely no idea what to do with myself but besides to tell myself that everything is okay and hope that it doesn't happen again.

Last night, worst night in a very very long time
