Glad your procedure went well.

I'm also having a good day. Got some laundry done. Did some hoovering. Getting things done with my sons.

That's great!!!

I've been so bored lately in the evening that I keep dosing off before bedtime. I have got to get some new hobbies or something that don't require so much concentration. Normally I read, but I've been really struggling with that.

My anxiety has been so much better since the gabapentin increase a couple weeks ago. Very thankful for that! I feel pretty stable and balance now. Just super bored.

I'm not doing well.

Withdrew from my last class because I was overwhelmed and had a lot of anxiety. My husband is still taking classes so I'm now by myself with nothing to do. I can't focus on much of anything. I'm frustrated with the anxiety.

I'm still having physical issues, and while they're not as bad as most my brain is having a lot of worst-case scenario thinking. I'm having the long-term fix for my lower back pain next week. I was in a lot of pain with the injections they did the past two times, and while I told the doc to use more local anesthetic I don't know if it would help. My right shoulder still hurts but I don't remember to put the lidocaine patches on. I'm seriously thinking of cancelling the MRI for it because I may just have tendonitis (which I've had before) and it's not worth the effort.

I'm sad and gloomy right now, interspersed with periods of anxiety. It's all situational and I just need to keep using my coping skills.

I was upset this morning when I checked my mail, and it said that I am no longer towards the top of the list for housing opportunities I applied to, stating "failure to cancel an appointment" to see one apartment. I am angry and upset, because I did cancel the appointment well in advance! I emailed the person in charge, explaining, but did not get a response yet. I hope they correct the issue. It messed me up today. I am also stressed that I have a doctor's appointment Monday that I have to go to, but don't want to go. So feeling really anxious lately, overall.

[wildflowerchild25]

So I have been totally miserable physicially the past two days. My cough has gotten exponentially worse and now I have a fever again. Finally got my chest X-ray and it turns out I have pneumonia! I've never had it before. So glad to get a diagnosis! Doc gave me levaquin so hopefully it will be knocked out soon.

We'd had quite the talk at pdoc's today. It was about my many intense chronic medical conditions and how my case challenges the doctors, in addition to challenging me. It's true. I can't expect a cure for any of it. I've got to simply do my best to live with this truth.

I don't feel hopeless; yet, neither do I feel hopeful.
I'm just trying to find a way to abide in peace and in Love.

I have been having problems with my hands for a while now. I finally went to the doctor and they took blood. My blood work is not good. It shows that I have inflamation in my body and my liver is not functioning properly. So I go back to see my GP in the beginning of October. Plus I just found out that my uncle maybe dying. He's in the ICU right now. Although I am not close to him I still feel bad for my grandma. He takes care of her. He is only in his 40's. Just a lot going on right now. I am hoping that the new mood stabilizer they gave me helps.

We make the best choices we can to deal with the circumstances we are in.

We have been doing this since our birthday.

It is baffling why this life is so hard and painful.

We desperately do what we can to make life tolerable.

A wonderful person here just said,

"I'm just trying to find a way to abide in peace and in Love."

I am certain that is the answer

never did do the second part of my anxiety course (probably not wise, I spent a lot of money on that), but the plus side is that the girl who instructs me didn't even call me to ask why I didn't bother with it. I think, deep down, she knows from that first session, it wasn't working, and she knows she was wrong to rip me off.

yesterday I got handed eviction notice to leave my current property in 4 weeks.

I can't pay the price they are asking to keep me here, so. for the next few weeks I will be looking for somewhere close to where I currently am, to make the move as stress-free as possible.

I know this is not a big problem, but I'm already super bored this morning. I have plenty of chores to do, but that is boring. My son is going the stay the night with a family member, so I'll be home alone too. This is going to be a super long weekend. Boredom is not something I usually struggle with. Thanks for letting me whine

Boredom can be infuriating! I'm bored quite often. Unfortunately my whole weekend will be boring as I am recovering from pneumonia so I have to rest. I don't want to. But at the same time I'm not trying to go to the hospital so....I guess I'll rest.

Good luck finding something to do!

[liveforsummer]

I'm on my own for the day which makes me nervous but I intend to stay positive and keep it a good day and ignore SH thoughts that have been invading my head again!

Then sun is shining...smile brightly

Hey. So my friend just called and wants to go on a day trip. I have to get my arse out of bed soon and get ready. To be honest, I would have been content just staying in bed all day sleeping and reading and listening to music. I can't aeeem to kick this stupid cold and I need to catch up on lost sleeep from the week.
But I know it is much healthier to leave the house and be around people than wearing pjs all weekend and binge watching old homeland episodes or something ldumb like that. Ah well. I have to clean Nd do laundry and stuf but I suppose that can wait. (Esp bc I prob wouldn't get it done even if stayed home!). Anyway, mood is okay. I am just feeling a little bit blah after this week when I felt like I was full of ideas and plans. Now I want life to slow down and just take a breathe. Work is exhausting sometimes. Being me is too. Anyway, life is pretty good at this particular moment which is something to celebrate I suppose.
Happy Saturday. Brrr. It has gone from aug weather to November in a day.
Hugs to anybody having a tough time rite now. Hang in there.

[scatterbrained04]

Yeah...so...my pharmacy does not have my prescriptions my pdoc should have called in 2 weeks ago, and I only have enough gabapentin for today. So, if I can't reach him, guess I'll be going off it cold turkey.

[hopeless2015]

So I went out with husband for a bit last night. I need to start getting out of the house again. I have to go back to work Monday. I'm up and on the couch now, I did run out for cigs and a cappuccino so I'm just relaxing now. Husband went and got groceries before I got out of bed, I feel kind of guilty about that.

This got worked out. So I should be good. I'll be able to get it tomorrow and have enough for today.

[Faltering]

I'm feeling a little better emotionally. I've been able to eat today for the first time in awhile. I attribute it to taking my mind off work. The stress is really affecting my life.

I got an eye exam today and found out my eyes are healthy but my vision has decreased significantly in the past 2 years. I was told I shouldn't have been driving. At least I'll finally have an accurate prescription now.
