How are you feeling today? #7

Hello beautiful people!
How are you feeling? I took a baby step yesterday, i called my best friend i haven't talked to in over two weeks. I tend not to talk to anyone when i'm depressed. I also didn't completely overdo it with emotional eating so i'm quite proud! I wanted to go to the gym too but ended up having a panic attack about leaving the house, ended up a nervous crying wreck on the floor and had to exercise breathing exercises to calm myself down. I guess i'm just not there yet.
How are you all today?

Take one thing at a time, and don't try to push yourself too much right now. You have done two really healthy, really good things when you called your friend, and didn't overeat. Also, you were able to use breathing exercises. Three positives!

I am ok. Feeling some anxiety building over the fact that I have to take a trip next weekend though. Really irritating!

Groovy. It is sunny where I am. I'm going to take my daughter to the mall with her friends, get myself lost per her request, and find a quiet place to read a book in my car for a few hours while they spend all sorts of money and act goofy.

I'm sorry your anxious. Is it because your schedule will get mixed up? Where are you traveling to?

Haha i know how teenage girls are. Have a great time!

Pretty good considering that my plans for the day fell through. I was looking forward to a day with friends only to find myself spending it alone and on the computer.

Awh, it's okay! Take some time for solitude.

I am going to my parents house for the weekend. Me and my son are invited to a confirmation. I am just anxious about traveling there, I always am. I feel surronded by a lot of people ( big family), and I have nowhere to retreat when I have enough of the pretty intense socializing. Even though I love them dearly, its just complete overload right now. But there is no way we can skip that confirmation. I think I have to see my doctor this week and maybe he can prescribe something to calm this anxiety down.

I am feeling bored and restless and frustrated that my head hurts so much and I'm running out of pain meds.

Admittedly very bad. Bawled this morning in front of my daughter. Had another crying spell in the bathroom at work and impulsively took 60mg of propranolol afterwards, so now I feel way out of it, dizzy, like I'm going to pass out and I'm still at work. Feel bad because I lied to my husband and said I took my correct seroquel dose last night when I only took 100. Boo hoo.

I'm sorry you're feeling anxious. I get like that a lot when i have to socialize so i know exactly how you feel. I actually asked my doctor what to do in this situation and she said i should go to the bathroom for 10 minutes and practice some breathing exercises by myself.
Hope you get better soon! <3

I'm sorry you're feeling unwell. Hope you get better soon!

Awh, sounds like a bad day. I'm really sorry you're feeling bad. If you need any support i'm here.

I guess I'm feeling okay emotionally. Head and neck are starting to hurt though, which really ticks me off. Looking forward to going out for breakfast with my husband in a bit.

Am guessing that I'll be sluggish today since I'll be upping my Topamax (for migraines) dose this morning after we get home from breakfast. Not sure what I'll be doing, besides maybe laundry. Considering I probably won't have a lot of get up and go, that should be fine.

Anxious...

I feel a whole lot better today than I did last night, which was really bad. So bad that I searched for an online support group and found this forum and joined.

Today, I can function enough to actually get some house work done (maybe) and maybe spend some time with my wife and daughter without breaking down.

I hope you're doing well.

I was feeling pretty but had to go to a funeral and it has really gotten me down. Seeing a lot of people that I used to know and it brought up a lot of memories that weren't good. It has left me feeling really down.

I'm frazzled - money, car problems, caregiving, work, trying to manage my usual responsibilities, and today I have a nasty headache. I'm in one of those places where I can't seem to catch up. It's tiring. I'm going to try to find a few small tasks to do to get my sense of productivity back.

I am BP and have an eating disorder.
I am slowly eating myself to death
I need help

I'm glad you're okay.

Welcome to the forum!
You'll find many members to support you here. I was in exactly the same position as you a few weeks ago. It helps to know there are people in the world with the same condition you do.
Hugs!

I'm sorry, why so anxious?

I understand funerals can be really bad, especially for people like us with MI. Hang in there buddy!

I'm sorry you're feeling tired. Try to take some time to yourself and relax. People like us with MI need it a lot i find.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

Your post resonates with me on so many levels. I've always struggled with my eating. One year i'd be puking up whatever i ate, the next i'd be binge eating my self to death. Now i'm struggling with overeating so i know how food affects mood. If it helps try to stay off the sugar, too much sugar makes me feel happy for a little bit but sad a whole lot longer.
Hope you're feeling better soon
