I was going to start DBT, had plans for scheduling my day, etc. Who am I kidding...I'm not going to do any of that. I have had a near constant headache that won't go away, I'm feeling hopeless, I'm mad, and last light after I came home from a crappy night at work (I wait tables and some customers really suck) with an awful headache, I yelled at my son, ignored my husband, and took two xanax just to calm down enough so I didn't want to hurt myself. Woke up today with the same damn headache and feeling of why bother.

I was even going to call my old place of work to see if I could work a few mornings a week bc I knew the schedule would be good for me. But I doubt I will

Working part time, even very limited, helps some but you could also volunteer.

Get rid of the headache and things will look much better.

Take good care of you.

Are your meds giving you those headaches? I've learned if I don't take my meds at the exact time every day, drink lots of water and completely stay away from caffeine I get migraines, each and every day!! If I wake up late on my day off, I have a headache and within 20 minutes of taking my meds it goes away. Same with drinking coffee. If you are going to drink it, do it at the same time every day and in the same quantity. It's just like a drug withdrawal for some people if you abruptly stop it. You can't be nice or happy when you're constantly in pain. I hope this helps a little.

You have had just a horrible time since you first showed up here on PC .

Don't overwhelm yourself , You can't apply a ton of new things at once. Set small attainable goals, like " Im going to shower today. " " Im going to make something healthy to eat" Im going to spend some times doing breathing exercises" etc ..

Small attainable things will add up and you will see improvement.

Dont try to take a HUGE bite, nibble here and there.

Hope you feel better soon

To stop the bad plans in my head I have just been staying in bed. I don't know what to do anymore. There doesn't seems to be any good options out there for me. So I just stay in bed. Groggy now- work tonight ought to be just awesome

Work last night was fine-I kind of get a reprieve from my symptoms there bc it is so busy and loud and staff is fun.

Told husband that I have had plans and he told me how selfish I am and how that would completely destroy our kids. I told him I knew that and that was why I haven't done anything. Then he fell asleep. Really? I detailed some of my htoughts and he told me I was selfish and fell asleep.

I'm sure he doesn't know what to do, but he could have at least ****ing stayed awake.

I see pdoc on Monday and I don't know if I should call her today or wait. I can stay in bed all day when kids are at school and am able to manage when they are home. I am mentally shut down but can fake it enough to get by.
